Funyuns

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Funyuns is the brand name of an onion-flavored corn chip introduced in 1969. The 'chips' are ring-shaped, like onion rings. They are a product of the Frito-Lay Company.

Funyuns are deep-fried rings of extruded corn meal-based material that are coated with pungent, pale yellowish, onion-flavored powder.

[edit] Trivia

University of North Texas Professor and Copywriter Jim Albright came up with the name "Funyuns" only after discovering that the original name, OnYums, had already been taken.

Funyuns were intended to be the snack that Vincent the bear was obsessed with in Over the Hedge.
