First introduced in the United States in 1948, Cheetos is a corn puff snack with a crunchy texture and is made by Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo. Fritos creator Charles Elmer Doolin invented the corn puff snacks in the Frito Company's research and development kitchen in Dallas, Texas. It was introduced to the market under the name Chee-tos, which was eventually changed to its current name in 1998.
