Reboot Illinois put together a fantastic list of 16 things that are made in Illinois. I knew a few of them were made here, like the classic party red SOLO cup. I've actually been to the corporate headquarters before and it's pretty awesome.

I've been to Medline before as well, and I was shocked on how many products they make!

I have to say, the people at Medline are pretty amazing and awesome.
