OMG - please tell me you all remember Frito Lays, Funyuns! Those glorious tasting “onion rings” that are nothing more than packing peanuts molded into rings with flavor injected into them. What I would do for a bag of Funyuns right now.
In lue of the disgusting food served in my Middle School cafeteria, I opted for a much healthier lunch each day - Funyuns, HI-C and a Twix. The sad part is, I never ever got sick of Funyuns, five days a week, all year long.
According to Wikipedia, Funyuns are, “deep-fried rings of enriched corn meal-based material that are coated with pungent, pale yellowish, onion-flavored powder.” Well, damn, my mouth is watering now…pungent, pale yellow goodness. I’m glad I never read the package!
Funyuns now come in three flavors: Original, Wasabi and Flamin’ Hot. Even while Funyuns are a little sketchy, I would do anything for a bag of them right now!

Funyun lovers REPRESENT!
They’re the very embodiment of “junk food”, and I only dare to eat them every two years or so, but I love ‘em all the same
