I remember that tour, though not much about it except that they gave out
Froot Loop sundaes at the end. Kellogs and Post both had major cereal
factories in Battle Creek MI, which is just down the road from Lansing where
I grew up. The factories aren't nearly as busy now, another hit to the
Midwest economy along with the auto industry's ups and downs.
