Answer 1

Filipinos (snack food)

Filipinos is the brand name for a series of biscuit snacks made by Mondelēz International. In Spain, Portugal and the Nordic countries they are produced and sold under the Artiach brand name. Under license to United Biscuits, in the Netherlands they are sold and produced locally under the Verkade brand. They have drawn controversy for having the same name as the people of the Philippines.

The standard Filipinos snack is ring shaped and come in several varieties coated in either milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate. Milk or dark chocolate versions feature a light colored biscuit. White chocolate versions feature a dark brown biscuit. These can be purchased in large rolls. The dark and white chocolate versions are also available in the Filipinos GoPack or Mini Filipinos, a smaller loose packet of four biscuits.

Filipinos Agujeros (holes) are crisp doughnut hole sized balls coated in either dark or white chocolate.

Filipinos Bigsticks are crispy 20 cm (8 in) stick shaped snacks covered with puffed rice. These are coated in either dark or white chocolate.

The government of the Philippines filed a diplomatic protest with the government of Spain, the European Commission and the then manufacturer Nabisco Iberia in 1999. The protest objected to the use of the name "Filipinos", a term which can refer to the people of the Philippines, to market cookie and pretzel snacks and demanded that Nabisco stop selling the product until the brand name was changed.

Eagle Snacks

Eagle snacks was the brand name for snack food originally marketed by the Anheuser-Busch company.

Anheuser-Busch marketed various snack foods, which typically were bite size pretzels, potato chips, cheese snacks, etc. that were distributed to bars and airlines. The snacks were in various shapes, sometimes depicting an eagle, hence the name "Eagle Snacks". An eagle is featured prominently in part of the current Anheuser-Busch logo.

The Eagle Snack mix featured eagle-shaped pretzels and bacon-cheddar crackers—reproducing Anheuser-Busch's interlocking "A" and eagle logo—as well as the company's famed honey-roasted peanuts.

Jack Klugman and Tony Randall of The Odd Couple television show starred in a number of television commercials and print ads for Eagle Snacks during the 1980s and '90s.

The brand was determined to be unprofitable for Anheuser-Busch and it sold off the brand to Procter & Gamble in 1996 P&G got rights to the products and brand, but not the Anheuser-Busch logo originally used to market the brand. Eagle Snacks is not to be confused with Eagle Brand, a trademark used by Borden to market its sweetened condensed milk and dessert lines, now owned by The J.M. Smucker Co.

The Eagle Snacks brand was purchased from P&G by River West Brands and is now operated by a River West subsidiary.

Frazzles

Frazzles

Frazzles are a bacon-flavour corn-based snack sold in the United Kingdom, once manufactured by Smiths, now by Walkers. The packet has kept to the same crimson background with yellow writing style throughout the years. The snacks have been produced since 1975, as printed on recent packaging. Frazzles are styled as rashers of bacon and because of this are very recognisable. Leslie Ivey, a tool maker working on behalf of Smiths' West London factory, managed the design and build of the first machine to draw the signature stripe on Frazzles. Many supermarkets have since released their own-brand bacon corn snacks due to the popularity of Frazzles. Despite their bacon styling, Frazzles are suitable for vegetarians.

In 2005 Frazzles were relaunched, with the Smiths branding replaced by Walkers. As of 2008, the rights to the product were brought back to Smiths.

Fritos

Fritos

Fritos is a brand of corn chips and dipping sauces created in 1932 by Charles Elmer Doolin and produced since 1959 by Frito-Lay. They are made from a deep-fried extrusion of masa.

According to popular lore, Fritos hail from San Antonio, Texas, where C. E. Doolin, who apparently had an obsession with making a snack based on corn that would not go stale too quickly, found a local man who had deep-fried corn snacks made from an extrusion of masa. Doolin bought the man's patent and recipe, and with the help of his mother perfected the recipe in his own kitchen (in much the same way that he later invented Cheetos). He began selling Fritos in 1932 under the moniker of the Frito Corporation. Original Fritos ingredients were limited to whole corn, corn oil, and salt.

From 1952–67, the Frito Kid was the company's official mascot. The Frito Bandito was its mascot from 1967 until about 1971, and was discontinued due to complaints about the Bandito image. He was initially replaced by the Muncha Bunch, a group of cowboys, which then were replaced by W.C. Fritos, modeled after comedian W.C. Fields.

Additionally, a sub-brand called Flavor Twists is produced in two flavors in the United States:

In addition, Fritos also distributes its own dipping sauces

Fruit by the Foot

Fruit by the Foot is a fruit snack made by General Mills (GM) in the brand line Betty Crocker. It was introduced in 1991 in North America and is still in production.

Fruit by the Foot is very similar to GM's Fruit Roll-Ups in its presentation of being rolled up within itself, but differs in taste, dimension and consumption methods. The similarity in name and concept is such that many people sometimes mistakenly refer to Fruit by the Foot as "Fruit Roll-Ups" and vice versa. The snack is approximately 3 feet (0.91 m) long, and has a loop at the end. Current marketing slogans include "3 Feet of Fun!" In the early 1990s, Fruit by the Foot came with stickers that kids put on their lunch boxes to show they had eaten Fruit by the Foot. It is also very similar to Kellogg's Fruit Winders sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Sugar, in multiple forms, is the major ingredient of Fruit by the Foot, as it makes up 9 grams of each 21 gram serving. Of the top four ingredients in each Fruit by the Foot, 3 of them are sweeteners (corn syrup, maltodextrin, and ordinary sugar). Artificial colors and flavors are used to synthesize the various flavors that Fruit by the Foot offers; for example, the strawberry variety contains no actual strawberries. Meanwhile the British equivalent, Kellogg's Fruit Winders, contains real strawberry purée and uses plant-based colorants.

Fruit by the Foot contains no protein, fiber, iron, calcium, or Vitamin A.

Since the 1990s, the paper backing has been printed with games, jokes, or trivia facts - though not all flavors have it, such as 'Rippin Berry Berry', and 'Berry Tie-dye'.

Answer 7

Fruit Gushers

Fruit Gushers (occasionally just called Gushers) are hexagonal fruit snacks made primarily from sugar and fruit juice, with small amounts of other ingredients. Introduced in 1991, they are produced by General Mills under the Betty Crocker brand name, and may be found in generic forms as well. The center of each gusher is a thick sweet liquid, and is surrounded by a chewy gelatinous sugar covering. When one bites into the snack, the liquid inside "gushes" out, hence the name of the snack. Fruit Gushers was the major sponsor for the YTV game show Uh Oh! from 2001 until the series ended in 2003.

Ingredients for the Strawberry Splash flavor are: Pears from concentrate, sugar, dried corn syrup, corn syrup, modified corn starch, fructose, grape juice from concentrate. Ingredients making up less than 2% of the product: Partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, maltodextrin, cottonseed oil, carrageenan, citric acid, glycerin, monoglycerides, sodium citrate, malic acid, ascorbic acid, natural flavor, potassium citrate, agar-agar, Red 40, xanthan gum.

Gushers originally came in two flavors: Gushin' Grape and Strawberry Splash. Grape was discontinued.

A new variety of the snack is Gushers Mood Morphers which come in a fruit punch flavor with different colored fruit-flavored fillings.

A new variety that recently came out is "Hawaiian Punch". These are the same shape as the original and contains the three naturally flavored fruit snacks; "Pineapple Paradise", "Watermelon Luau", and "Maui Mango". They are not currently for sale in all States and regions.

Funyuns

Funyuns

Funyuns is the brand name of an onion-flavored corn snack introduced in the United States in 1969 and invented by Frito-Lay employee George Bigner. Funyuns consist primarily of cornmeal, ring-shaped using an extrusion process, representing the shape and texture of fried onion rings. A salt and onion mix gives them the flavor. They are a product of PepsiCo's 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 by Rudolph Foods. Initial television advertising for the snack featured a variation of Susan Christie's 1966 song, "I Love Onions".

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". In Brazil, Funyuns are sold under the name "Cebolitos".

Answer 10

Gansito

Gansito (Spanish "little goose"), is a Mexican snack cake, which is similar to the Twinkie, with the exception of strawberry jelly along with the creamy filling and that it is covered in chocolate with chocolate sprinkle topping. It was created in 1957 by Marinela (the pastries division of the breadmaking Bimbo brand). Gansito is one of the first three products to emerge from this brand. This specific snack cake is heavily marketed, possibly more than any other of Bimbo's products which include white and wheat bread, cereal bars, pound cakes and several other cakes, various pastries, cookies, and wafers.

The 1.8 oz packs 200 calories, 8 grams of fat of which 8 grams are saturated fat, and less than 9 percent of any vitamin, though it is marketed as being vitamin enriched.

The Gansitos are sold all over Mexico.

In a study, the Gansito name brand and "cute-looking goose" was remembered by 92% of a children's study group, whereas only 19% can recall the most basic Mexican history dates. This case of heavy publicity is also seen in the company's website (Marinela.com.mx).

The appearance of the "little goose" mascot has changed dramatically over its 50 years, from a university graduate goose, to a goose dressed in winter clothing, to a childish-looking goose, a teenager goose with jeans, t-shirt and spiky hair and now, a gosling.

The mascots on the website speak English or Spanish with roughly translated tag-lines or slogans.

There is also a very similar snack cake in Colombia, with the same name, manufactured by Ramo. However, unlike the Mexican version, the "little goose" mascot has not changed over the years. Mexican Gansito is sold under the name Piolo to distinguish the two.

Peru had their own version of Gansito as well. The 1980s version of Gansito featured a goose in a sailor suit with a beret. As a result of the 1990s de-regulation of foreign capital, Bimbo/Marinela acquired the Peruvian company PYC and re-badged the product with the Mexican style.
