The Tip is 'Teach Grandchildren' One day, while I was on the Made In America Secrets site my granddaughter noticed and asked me what I was doing. I told her about the Big Secret and as I explained, she began to ask me more questions. After several minutes she left my office to play with her little sister. Months had gone by and until recently, I had forgotten about that moment. She was visiting again and I was talking to her about buying a custom printed T-Shirt. She immediately told me about a website that I could use to buy one. Wow I thought, she is only eight years old and already teaching me. The most amazing thing then happened, she said "Pops they sell Made In America T-Shirts". Thanks to her I purchased six custom Made In USA T-Shirts. Her name is Britton, she understands the Big Secret and I love it when she tells me her Little Secrets! Now she is ten and writing a screenplay called Mertastic. It is a story about a mermaid. Recently, she was visiting our house again and using my computer. She called me to come into my office and of course I came to her because that is what grandparents love to do. One of the reasons I love to be with her is because it is always interesting to see what she is up to. This time, she needed a mermaid tail for her movie, so we began to look around using Google. Her mother is a talented seamstress and will make the tail so we were looking for fabric that would be satisfy my granddaughter's vision of her mermaid tail. Once again we began to talk about Made in America and therefore started to investigate the country of origin of the fabrics she was considering. Because of that experience Made in USA fabric is now one of Made in America Secrets products. Thank you, Britton. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Black Jewel In the mid 1960s a small company popped up in Southern Illinois. It was a popcorn company selling 2 pound bags of popcorn to local stores and supermarkets. These kernels weren't the typical yellow kernels that you normally see-they were black. The black kernels popped snow white with very few hulls left after popping and were delicious! Very soon this company was harvesting popcorn in the fall and selling out by Christmas. They soon realized it was time to get things popping, and Black Jewell Popcorn was born. Over the years, Black Jewell has grown from a small company with a local presence to selling black and crimson kernels all over the country. The company may have changed in size, but their standards have not. Black Jewell is still a family owned company that cares about and stands behind their product. So what makes Black Jewell popcorn so much better? Black Jewell refuses to settle for anything but the best. All of the corn is carefully inspected to ensure only the cleanest, highest quality kernels make it into the plant. The kernels are then sent through a pre-cleaning process to filter out any unwanted field corn or seeds that can affect the flavor of the popcorn. After pre cleaning, the corn is taken into the plant a batch at a time to be further cleaned and tested. When the kernels are finally clean and the moisture is just right, they are bottled, boxed, and shipped. |
