Funyuns is a brand of cornmeal snacks that taste like onion and are shaped in a circle. Funyuns are owned by Frito-Lay.

The snack was created by George Bigner, a worker at Frito-Lay and it would be launched in 1969. Funyuns are popular in the United States, with 2.02 million Americans buying over 8 bags in 2020. Aside from the original flavor, Funyuns also come in a spicy Flamin' Hot flavor.

Funyuns have also been used as a popular ingredient in meals. One well known recipe uses funyuns as a turkey coating instead of breadcrumbs. It has also been used as an ingredient for green bean casserole.
