I forgot, APPLE. Almost everyone uses an apple product today. They are not always made here, but the genius behind apple and the home pc was made here!

I am in Wisconsin.

We have a MillerCoors brewery in Milwaukee. It's also the home of Harley-Davidson.

We have the headquarters for Jockey International in Wisconsin, and also for SCJohnson Wax. Case and International Harvester are also located here, for farming equipment.

We also have a Midwestern production plant for Nestle's chocolate in Burlington, Wisconsin. Every Memorial Day weekend, they hold an annual Chocolate Festival. They have a tent where they sell chocolate goods. You can also buy freshly bagged candy from the local plant, too, at the festival. Yummy!

It smells so good if you drive by the plant when they are making chocolate!

Kikoman soy sauce is also produced in WI.

Johnsonville sausages are also made here, along with Klement's sausages and Usinger's sausages, too.

Natural Ovens products are made here in WI.

Wisconsin is also known as being a cheese and dairy producer, too.

Wisconsin also grows cranberries for Ocean Spray and other companies, too.

Wisconsin is also one of the top producers of American ginseng, too.
