Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

Do you ever find yourself wondering how things are made? From the food we eat to the clothes we wear, everything comes from somewhere, and sometimes, that somewhere just happens to be here in Ohio. Food factory tours are the absolute best because not only do you get to satisfy your curiosity, but you also get to enjoy something tasty at the end! Pretty sweet, right? And I mean that sweet literally, especially at the chocolate and candy factories!
