Funyuns Onion Flavored Rings

Funyuns are a popular brand of onion-flavored corn snacks first introduced to the market in 1969. They were invented by Frito-Lay employee George Bigner. The product is designed to mimic the shape and texture of fried onion rings but consists primarily of cornmeal that has been extruded into ring shapes and seasoned with a salt and onion mix.

Manufacturing for the North American market primarily takes place in the United States within Frito-Lay's extensive network of production facilities. The brand is a core part of the savory snack portfolio owned by PepsiCo, which acquired Frito-Lay in 1965. Today, Funyuns remain a staple in the global snack food industry, maintaining their iconic yellow packaging and retro-style branding.
