Large quantities

Shouldn't it be noted on the concurrent talk page that Maxwell House coffee comes in large sized quantities e.g family/industrial sized tubs? Please discuss with me on this concurrent talk page before I edit the article. Thanks! Bob_thegamepro Bob thegamepro (talk) 13:12, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Image notes - at one time it was the fourth largest coffee packaging plant in the world, and the third largest of Maxwell house Coffee's Plants. Maxwell house was part of one of the largest divisions of General Foods, Corp.

Maxwell House coffee is still produced at two U.S. locations: Jacksonville, Florida, and San Leandro, California. A third plant (the oldest of the group, and the largest in the world at the time), located in Hoboken, New Jersey, was closed in the early 1990s. Its enormous rooftop sign, proclaiming the brand name and a dripping coffee cup, was a landmark visible in New York City across the Hudson River from Manhattan. The plant was later sold and demolished. The site, like most New Jersey riverfront property opposite Manhattan, is now occupied by a condominium. The plant was divested by Kraft Foods to Maximus Coffee Group LP in late 2006. In March 2007, the neon coffee cup sign which glowed like a beacon over the city's East End was removed from atop the side of the sixteen-story coffee roaster building. The same fate befell the Houston plant, at one time the second largest plant in the world; it's huge iconic sign had been visible from Downtown Houston, The University of Houston Campus, the Ship Channel, and to everyone who passed through Houston, on either I-45, or I-10. It was one of the first sites of a major Sanka, decafenation plant, and later one of the world's largest Maxin plants, producing freeze dried coffee. The original main plant that housed the traditional M.R.G. section, [mixing, roasting, grinding, and packaging], [and the huge Minute Rice Plant, was once a Ford Assembly Plant. Maxwell house Coffee Company, and the rest of General Foods Corp., were among first large scale manufacturers in The South, and Nationally, to be peaceably, and successfully integrate their entire work force.
