Funyuns is the brand name of an onion-flavored corn snack introduced in 1969. While consisting primarily of cornmeal, Funyuns are ring-shaped, alluding to the shape and texture of fried onion rings. They are a product of the Frito-Lay Company. They were named "Funyuns" by University of North Texas professor and copywriter Jim Albright after it was discovered that the first choice of name for the product, "OnYums", had already been taken.[citation needed]

In 2005, the "window cutout" showing the actual product inside the bag was replaced by a photograph of the product, falling in line with the design of the rest of Frito-Lay's product line. The big-bag Funyuns was one of the last Frito-Lay brands to completely phase out the "window cutout".
