Cheetos Pandilla Fantasmas snack

Cheetos Pandilla is a popular variation of the Cheetos brand specifically marketed in the European market, notably Spain. Known for its unique ghost shapes (Fantasmas), this snack is part of the extensive Frito-Lay portfolio.

The brand was originally invented in the United States in 1948 by Charles Elmer Doolin. Today, it is owned by PepsiCo, a global leader in the food and beverage industry. These specific European variants are frequently manufactured in local plants across Spain and Portugal to serve the regional market demand. The ultimate ownership remains with PepsiCo, headquartered in the United States, managing the brand through its Frito-Lay and PepsiCo Europe divisions.
