Since I was lucky enough to spend some time at General Mills Headquarters in Minneapolis, MN for the Box Tops University 2011, I thought it would be fun to show you guys some pictures of how it looks like at General Mills, it was amazing.

This sure was a once in a lifetime trip for me, and I was amazed by all the cool things they had to offer. I got so jealous hearing about the 4 1/2 day work week, where everyone leaves early on Friday, or the nursery that is in house. They even have a store where you can buy snacks, and anything that is in a grocery store, well.. kind of.. you guessed it anything from General Mills that is in a Grocery store Smile.

They also had a store where you can buy souvenirs like T-Shirts or other cool things, there was a Coffee shop and a bunch of different offices and studios. It was too cool.

They even have an auditorium in the building, not sure how many people can be seated there, but it sure was HUGE and so comfortable.

I was amazed by all the cool things that are displayed like pictures from the very beginning of Betty Crocker to cool pictures that used anything in the General Mills line, and are created by employees of General Mills.

It was a blast and if you ever get a chance to tour General Mills, defiantly worth seeing. It’s interesting to see where the ideas come from and all the different products.

I was not asked to write this post, however General Mills paid my way to Box Top University.
