We went to the Kimberly Clark plant today. We saw how sanitary napkins and tampons were made. The presentation was 5 hours long. We got samples of their new Cold Care line of Kleenex tissue. It wouldn't be on the market until June. We also got a deck of cards, duffel bag, cube of paper, Atlas, and toilet paper.
Our second stop was at Presto products. They made private label items. The factory wasn't too automated. The bags of plastic garbage bags were hand packed, not automatically packed. They made Spartan products, Gordon Food products, etc. We went through their test labs and art department.
Then, we went to their boat house about 5 miles away. We all got liquor from their bar and took a boat ride on their house boat.
Taught Suk Kien and Sieuw Ping how to country line dance on the second floor of the boat. I visited with Fontrise and Ebony. Ebony started nicknaming me 'Grandma'. I don't remember why, but we all thought it was funny. We had a long drive back to our hotel in Skokie. One of the kids on our bus threw up in his duffel bag as he was drunk. Thank goodness the bus had stopped to fix a light, so our professor threw away that kid's duffel bag. The kid could barely walk. In fact, he fell on the cement and skinned his knee. I thought he was dumb to act like this. He should be more professional on a trip like this.
Deyoung and I sat next to each other on the bus and talked about the stupid things we had done in our lives.
