Fonzies Original Cheese Corn Snacks

Fonzies is an iconic Italian snack brand, famously known for its "not fried" cheese-flavored corn puffs. Launched in 1981, the brand was named after the character Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli from the television show Happy Days. The snack is widely celebrated in Italy for its distinct shape and intense cheese seasoning, encapsulated by its long-standing marketing slogan encouraging consumers to "lick their fingers."

The production of Fonzies carries a significant legacy, with the primary manufacturing facility located in San Carlo, Italy. Over the years, the brand has transitioned through various corporate hands. Originally created by the Barilla Group in partnership with General Mills, the brand was eventually acquired by the multinational snack giant Mondelēz International. Today, it remains a staple of the Italian snack market and a key part of the Mondelēz portfolio, maintaining its production roots in Italy under the management of their European snack division.
