Channel 5 in Oklahoma City did an interesting report:

All the hamburger for McDonald's in the southwest is packaged at Lopez Foods just outside of Oklahoma City. Creating 500 jobs in the area. The biscuits for the southwest region are made at Bama Pie in Tulsa. All of the pies that McDonalds serves in North America are also made by Bama Pie in Tulsa (500-999 jobs per the Chamber).
Always interested to hear about what products our State and particularly our city makes. Sometimes things you have consumed/used since you were a kid are made right here. Aside from products there are companies in Tulsa doing things and I wouldn't have imagined (just learned yesterday there is a very large nuclear engineering corporation). School buses, glass for Ford, all kinds oil infrastructure, pipelines and drill rigs, aviation components for Cessna and Boeing, commercial air conditioners . . .
Anyway, I found it interesting and thought I would share. Please feel free to add to the list.
