'''Cheese puffs''', '''cheese curls''', or '''corn curls'''<ref>Deirdre S. Blanchfield, ''How Products Are Made: An Illustrated Guide to Product Manufacturing'', Gale, 2002, ISBN 0787624446, p. 70</ref> are a [[puffed grain|puffed corn]] [[snack]], coated with a mixture of [[cheese]] or cheese-flavored [[Powder (substance)|powders]]. Common brands include [[Cheetos]] (U.S.) and [[Cheezies]] (Canada). |
|||
They are manufactured by extruding heated dough through a die that forms the particular shape. They may be ball-shaped, curly ("cheese curls"), straight, or irregularly shaped. |

Cheese puffs were invented in 1939 by Edward Wilson and/or Clarence J. Schwebke and Frank E. Hoadley.<ref>[http://www.google.com/patents?id=UrRjAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&dq=(flakall+OR+wilson+OR+adams)+(food+|+snack+|+corn)&as_drrb_ap=b&as_minm_ap=1&as_miny_ap=1939&as_maxm_ap=1&as_maxy_ap=1940#PPA4,M1 U.S. Patent 2,295,868]</ref> of the Flakall Corporation ([[Beloit, Wisconsin|Beloit]], [[Wisconsin]]), a producer of flaked, partially-cooked [[animal feed]]. Wilson and his wife deep-fried and salted the puffed corn produced by the machines, and later added cheese. He applied for a patent in 1939 and the product, named ''Korn Kurls'', was commercialized in 1946 by the Adams Corporation, formed by one of the founders of Flakall and his sons.<ref>Octavian Burtea, "Snack Foods from Formers and High-Shear Extruders" |
