It's Morning In America (112)America starts its day each morning with three quintessential American products. Today's omnipresent Kellogg's cereal made just 130 cases of corn flakes in 1905.
Orange juice with that? Minute Maid uses some 111 billion oranges to make juice each year.
On the way out the door, children may grab a lunchbox, just like their parents before them--between 1950 and 1985 Aladdin and American Thermos came up with 450 designs. Of course, collectors are grabbing up lunchboxes, too, particularly the very valuable model featuring The Beatles.
