Funyuns

Crunchy onion snacks

Funyuns is a brand name for onion-flavored corn snacks shaped like rings.

The name blends "fun" and "onions." Like many snack brands, Funyuns has become somewhat genericized: I grabbed some Funyuns at the gas station.

The snacks are known for their artificial onion taste and light, crunchy texture.
