Started the day off at the Elias Brothers Commissary. Their distribution center was owned by Marriott. They used to make most of their own food. The idea of the Big Boy picture came from a drawing of this little boy. It started out in California.
Went to Troy, Michigan to the Kmart Corporate Headquarters. They were building a beautiful shopping center nearby. I never realized that the private label 'American Fair' was tested. They took samples of all clothing and home fashions and tested for flammability, color, and durability.
The final tour for this week was at the Frito Lay factory in Allen Park, Michigan. First, corn was boiled, cleaned, mixed into a doughy substance, flattened, shaped, baked, and then seasoned. They made such items as Munchos, Doritos, Fritos, and Tostitos. We were given a bag full of their new chips. In Canada, they seasoned their chips with a ketchup flavor. In Mexico, chips were flavored with a lemon seasoning.
