History
Diamond Foods Inc. was founded in 1912 by the walnut growers of California. In 1919, in an attempt to expand their business, the company started advertising nationally. It introduced the Diamond brand in 1926. With the advertisements, the company started selling its products to all parts of the U.S. Over the next couple of years, it concentrated on expanding the business internationally. In 1930, it started selling products outside the US. By 1950, the products of the company reached more consumers with the first television advertisement and Diamond Foods Inc. was the first nut manufacturer to do this.
Stockton, California was made the headquarters in 1956. By 1960, the company improved the manufacturing facilities by adding cold storage and increasing the total area of the plant to 550,000 square feet. There was a huge increase in sales in Europe, especially in Germany. In 1962, the company celebrated the 50th anniversary.
In 1989, the company introduced laser sorters to sort nuts in its manufacturing plants. By 1997, walnut exports increased rapidly and Japan became the main importer of walnuts. In 1998, culinary nuts were introduced. Diamond Foods Inc. became the leading exporter of nuts in the world. The name of the company was changed to Diamond of California. It became the supplier of nuts to Olympic teams of the USA in 2000, 2002 and 2004. The Emerald nuts brand was introduced in 2004. In 2005, the name of the company was again changed back to Diamond Foods Inc.

JUMBO POP IS NOT THE SAME AS IT WAS MAKE IT THE SAME IT IS CRAP SO PUT IT BACK
THE WAY IT WAS
I purchased 3 12 bag boxes of pop secret popcorn. They all have some packages with too much oil turning the popped corn wet and yellow
IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME THAT I FOUND A PRODUCT I WAS EXCITED ABOUT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR NEW RASPBERRY GLAZED ALMONDS. I HAVE SHARED MY ONE AND ONLY BAG WITH MY CO WORKERS. I WISH I HAD NOT ON DONE THIS BECAUSE NOW I AM OUT AND WILL DEFINITELY BUY MORE. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, YOU WOULDN’T HAVE ANY COUPONS FOR THIS PRODUCT, WOULD YOU? I AM HOOKED.
THANKS

I purchased Pop Secret Movie Theater Butter popcorn on 4/1/14. The use by date was 2/25/2015. A number on the box was SU2325AR. I love your popcorn and eat it all the time. This box tasted like kettle corn. I tried two bags but it still had the kettle corn taste. Being a diabetic I cannot eat that flavor. Very disappointed. I bought another 10 pack and this pack has so many kernels when it is popped I didn’t eat that either. Why am I having so many problems with my favorite popcorn? Popcorn is one of the few treats I eat. Now I’m apprehensive about buying any more. Thought you should be aware of this. Thank you.
Tonight I went to my local Safeway and bought a 3 pack of your pop secret popcorn movie theater and when I went to pop it it didn’t pop much but it burnt the bag and I spent my last few $ on this popcorn for my kids and me to eat while watching movie so please can you replace it here’s my address
