When walking along the snack aisle at the supermarket, it’s not often that we stop and take the time to think about the stories behind our favorite brands. However, a little curiosity can go a long way. Soon you’ll discover – not only do all these snacks have intriguing backstories but there is a lot many people don’t know about them in general.
Bugles
Introduced by General Mills in 1966, Bugles have come a long way since. If you look closely, you’ll notice there are two manufacturers who produce Bugles – General Mills and Tom’s. General Mills used to own Tom’s way back when, but they sold it. All the same, they continue to license the name and formula to Tom’s to this day. The main difference between these two brands is that General Mills’ Bugles are fried in coconut oil while Tom’s are fried in vegetable oil.
