The New Poolside Snack: Yumnuts

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

We can confirm we have an interesting, comical and memorable product name. We can guarantee that Yumnuts is a healthy snack anytime, anywhere. We unfortunately cannot guarantee that eating Yumnuts will miraculously tone your thighs, though I agree, that would be a nice selling feature.

Say Yum For Flavored Cashews

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Nuts are a $2.3billion dollar category, and cashews are in more than half of Americans’ pantries, according to Mintel. Norwalk, Conn.-based Yumnuts, founded in 2009 by Mike Cochrane, a lifelong nut, and Tyler Ricks, the No. 1 Yumnut, introduces Yumnuts all-natural flavored cashews. Hand-selected for flavor, the jumbo cashews are slow dry-roasted in small batches without added oils, and are packaged in portable and resealable bags for on-the-go snacking.

Entrepreneurial Inspiration

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

People can be inspired by anything. Perhaps it is art, poetry, your children or pet. For instance, every day at the Yumnuts office I’m hit with a daily dose of inspirational genius, not just because I’m genius (this of course is subjective) but so are the people around me. The nuts are brilliant (this is also subjective) creative (and this), and funny (this too). All of this creative energy inspires me to be better, smarter, faster. Now I’m curious. What inspires you? Send it to us through Facebook and we will post it on our blog.

The below link was sent in by one of our fans on Facebook. We hope you like it.
