[katinmn]

Come on. Take a guess.

[MrScorpio]

1. Great Taste?

No Less filling

[katinmn]

5. nope. But a good guess

[Left Is Write]

2. Minnesota.

[katinmn]

6. Not that I know of.

[katinmn]

3. Hint # 1 They recently went through a change in ownership

[progressoid]

4. They taste the same?

[katinmn]

7. no.

[progressoid]

24. Are you sure?

[katinmn]

8. Hint #2: It impacts workers

[drdon326]

9. Just say it already.

[katinmn]

12. shit, I thought I was the impatient one. Ok

Through acquisitions they are both now union shops - Steelworkers!

I was glad to learn that today. Unions have really taken a beating recently.

[drdon326]

14. NOW THATS COOL !!!

[Kathleen04]

10. they're Unionized?

I don't know..I'm trying to go off of your clues. :)

[katinmn]

:)

11. A foreign company owns them

and wants to take the jobs out of the country?

[katinmn]

15. Nope. See post above.

good guess though

[Wapsie B]

17. Is this a new trend in business?

[katinmn]

21. No, more of an anomaly, I think. Unions are declining

under our pro-business, anti-worker government.

[Wapsie B]

23. Yes I thought that was the case.

Can't let those unwashed masses make a liveable wage. What I'd like to see is to somehow make it unattractive to use cheap labor overseas, while at the same time lifting the living standards of those poorer nations.

18. They are interchangeable products?

Really, Unions? great news, but I didn't think Grain Belt was still around...
