Fonzies snack

Fonzies are a popular corn-based snack, characterized by their distinct cheese flavor and baked (non-fried) preparation. Originally launched in the late 1970s, the brand was named after the character 'The Fonz' from the television show Happy Days, reflecting the pop culture of the era.

While the brand has roots that trace back to the multinational snacks division of General Mills and later Kraft Foods, it has become an iconic snack specifically in the Italian market. Today, the brand is owned by Mondelēz International. Production is primarily centered in Italy, specifically at the Capriata d'Orba plant, which supplies the high demand for this snack in Southern Europe.
