But I'm alarmed that many folks not only don't know ANYTHING but they also DON'T KNOW where to look to find the answer. Even more worrisome is that they don't care that they don't know!<br /><br />--chicopantherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-64541809986822530882009-05-15T11:17:00.000-07:002009-05-15T11:17:00.000-07:00Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name a few year...Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name a few years back to KFC, but the letters still stand for Kentucky Fried Chicken. <br /><br />Same with 3M.<br /><br />Who says?

They also manufacture grinding wheels and other abrasive products, along with a number of products in other lines such as Scotch tape and post it notes.Fritz J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07964038461331789981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-3192751259480941282009-05-14T19:36:00.000-07:002009-05-14T19:36:00.000-07:00Anyone who grew up in Minnesota knows.Anyone who grew up in Minnesota knows.Amerlochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17001434250939119091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-70611202370758112322009-05-14T17:45:00.000-07:002009-05-14T17:45:00.000-07:00Minnesota Mining and ManufacturingMinnesota Mining and ManufacturingAnna Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349723755730969082noreply@blogger.com
