By Anonymous 427 Days AgoHey liked the article about Quaker oats. I have used it for many years until I came here to Asia and especially China. Some more info on this great company and for you. I used to live in Iowa and went to Univ Of Northern Iowa. Cedar Falls exactly. I had to go down to Iowa City several times a year using I380 as the only major highway that will take you there. Now Going through Cedar Rapids is tricky really since Quaker Oats has the plant right next to this highway. In the winter flashing yellow lights warning those miles ahead to slow down since the steam from this plant brings havoc and at times icy conditions for those on this highway. I have seen several nasty accidents since these bone heads do not like to slow down. Now I have not traveled that road since 1991 as I have lived in this section of the world. I do know that they are a great employer and only hire maybe once a year. The last time I can remember hearing about them about 5000 people were applying for only a handful of jobs. It seems that this company keeps their employees and no one quits. I did see this here once in Zhengzhou and bought a box only one left at a very high price but well it was a treat really and loved it very much. Have not seen it even in the import store there. Thanks for bringing something great to mind. Norm
