Thomas' is a brand of English muffins and bagels in North America. It is owned by Bimbo Bakeries USA, which also owns Entenmann's, Boboli, Stroehmann, and Arnold bread companies. It advertises as having "nooks and crannies" in the muffins. The company also produces toasting/swirl breads, pitas, bagels and wraps.
The company was founded by Samuel Bath Thomas (1855–1919). In 1874, he emigrated from England to New York City and began working in a bakery. By 1880, he had purchased his own bakery at 163 Ninth Avenue, where he featured his namesake muffins. Thomas expanded to 337 West 20th Street where today a plaque designates the building as "The Muffin House."
The company, S.B. Thomas, Inc., was incorporated by his family after his death in 1919.
In 2010, the company won a trade secret suit when an executive downloaded the company's recipes and retired to work for Hostess.
Saint Thomas the Apostle (called Didymus which means "the twin") was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, according to the New Testament. He is informally called doubting Thomas because he doubted Jesus' resurrection when first told, (in the Gospel of John), followed later by his confession of faith, "My Lord and my God", on seeing Jesus' wounded body.
Traditionally, he is said to have travelled outside the Roman Empire to preach the Gospel, travelling as far as Tamilakam in present-day India. According to tradition, the Apostle reached Muziris, Tamilakam present day India in AD 52 and baptized several people, founding what today are known as Saint Thomas Christians or Nasranis. After his death, the reputed relics of Saint Thomas the Apostle were enshrined as far as Mesopotamia in the 3rd century, and later moved to various places. In 1258, some of the relics were brought to Abruzzo in Ortona, Italy, where they have been held in the Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle. He is often regarded as the Patron Saint of India, and the name Thoma remains quite popular among Saint Thomas Christians of India.
Thomas is the first known Bishop of Finland. Only a few facts are known about his life. He resigned in 1245 and died in Visby three years later.
The only reference to Bishop Thomas during his episcopate in Finland is a letter signed by him in Nousiainen in 1234, which granted certain lands around the parish to his chaplain Wilhelm. The lands may be related to the papal permission from Pope Gregory IX in early 1229 that authorized the church to take over all non-Christian places of worship in Finland. The letter is the oldest surviving letter written in Finland.
No further information on the bishop's activities has survived before he was granted resignation by Pope Innocent IV on 21 February 1245. According to the Pope, Thomas had admitted committing several felonies, such as torturing a man to death, and forging a papal letter. Church representatives to oversee the resignation were the Archbishop of Uppsala and the Dominican prior of the Dacian province. Thomas donated his books to the newly established Dominican convent in Sigtuna and went on to live his last years in the Dominican convent in Visby, Gotland. He died there in 1248, shortly before the Second Swedish Crusade which cemented the Swedish rule in Finland for more than 550 years.

Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na-na
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na
Hvem skal jeg så v¿lge nu?
Hey smukke pige, der´ noget jeg må sige dig
Dit s¸de smil, det er lige mig
Hvis bare vi ku´, flette fingre i smug
Jeg slår aldrig dit hjerte itu
Ay yo hva´ så honey, la´ mig g¸re det klart
Du skal ikke ha´en duks, hellere én der er smart
Der gir buksevand til de p¿ne drenge i klassen
Går i store bukser og er l¿nge oppe om natten
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na-na
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na
Hvem skal jeg så v¿lge nu?
Du skal v¿lge mig, jeg gi´r dig r¸de roser
K¿rlighed og et digt med s¸de gloser
Nej, du skal v¿lge mig, vi passer sammen
Lad os h¸re h¸j musik og danse natten lang
Yo, l¿g din hånd i min, lad os gå en tur i sandet
K¿rligheden spreder sig som ringene i vandet
Jeg kan se du r¸dmer når jeg kigger på dig
Dine tanker ligger hos mig
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na-na
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na
Hvem skal jeg så v¿lge nu?
Det er på tide at du v¿lger mig og ikke ham
Jeg står ved din side og I passer ikke sammen
Du fortjener mere, hvorfor er du i tvivl?
Hvad vil du med ham, han har ikke noget liv
Og jeg fortjener dig, det burde du ku´ se
Har bedre stil, og så´n ku´ jeg blive ved
Hvem vil du ha´? Hvem er den rette?
Giv os et svar – du kan ik´ synge dig fra det
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na
Hun er min, hun er min, na-na-na-na
