Yumnuts asks, “What makes you say yum?”

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Yumnuts co-founder Jerome Metivier is about to hop on a plane to Paris, France for a long weekend.  For Jerome, who grew up in Paris, the thought of going back home is 100% Yum.  He will have the opportunity to spend time with family, eat at his favorite restaurant and see some familiar sites.  Jerome’s trip to France reminds us to ask, “what makes you say Yum?”

As you can imagine, there are a lot of “Yum” memories from Jerome that stem from France.  In fact, here are a few of Jerome’s anwers to our YumBlog questions:

1.  What is your favorite Yum sound?   - The sounds of the cork popping on a bottle of Bordeaux

2.  What is your favorite Yum smell?  - The smell of Paris after a rainstorm in August

Bon voyage, Jerome!  We hope you enjoy the trip and have the chance to experience first hand your favorite ‘yum’ sound and ‘yum’ smell on the trip.  Take pictures of Yumnuts at the Eifle Tower.

What is your favorite yum smell?

Yumnuts Launches at Expo West

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Yumnuts launch healthy cashews at Expo WestThe Yumnuts team of Tyler, Jerome and Mike headed west the first week in March for the official launch of Yumnuts at Expo West in Anaheim, California.  Yumnuts spent the week leading up to Expo on the packaging line ensuring that the first production run went smoothly.  The product and packaging came out great and was a huge hit at the show.

The crew handed out over 2,500 samples of Yumnuts products.  There was a very good, positive buzz about the product at the show.  We had a number of people come to our booth because someone else had told them that they needed to try our chocolate cashews.  We even had the comment, “You all have the hottest nuts at the show”, a reference to our chili lime flavor.

The show was also a great opportunity for Jerome and Tyler to connect with many of their former colleagues from Bear Naked.  Many of the Bear Naked alumni are still active in the natural food industry and were in attendance at Expo.  It was great to catch up with old friends and hear about their new endeavors.

The show was a success and has lead to Yumnuts working with several distributors and customers.
