Cheetos is an iconic brand of corn puff snacks originally created in 1948 by Charles Elmer Doolin in the United States. Doolin, the founder of the Fritos Company, developed the initial recipe and testing, which eventually led to the brand's national success. In 1961, Frito-Lay was formed through the merger of the Frito Company and the H.W. Lay & Company, which solidified the brand's position in the global market.
Today, Cheetos is owned by PepsiCo, one of the largest food and beverage corporations in the world. While the brand originated in the United States, it is produced in several countries across Europe, North America, and South America to serve regional markets. The specific packaging shown, featuring Romanian text ('cu gust de Ardei Chili'), suggests distribution within the Eastern European market, where it is often produced in local regional facilities operated by PepsiCo subsidiaries.
