The kernel
Ira E. Weaver started in 1928 in Indiana. Weaver Popcorn Manufacturing is the microwave and RTE company. Their FAQ says they also pack other people's bags and that they dropped diacetyl from their microwave line in 2007.
The pot
The pot is a Pop Weaver grocery box. We do not claim they pack Kirkland or anyone else — Costco does not say. The grocery name is Pop Weaver. Van Buren is the big microwave house in the company file.
Hulls
Hulls are grower yellow. A 1928 popcorn house is on the map because it is still a popcorn house, not because we invented a number.
