Chester Cheetah is a fictional character and the official mascot for Frito-Lay's Cheetos brand snacks as well as Chester's Snacks which consists of flavored fries, popcorn and puffcorn.

Manufacturers include Frito-Lay, and Old Dutch Foods. Sweetened (Corn Pops, Reese's Puffs, etc.) and salty/seasoned (Kurkure, various cheese puffs, etc.) varieties also exist.

The brand has also sometimes been referred to as Frito-Lay because both Lay's and Fritos are brands sold by the Frito-Lay company, which has been a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo since 1965.

The first Cheetos mascot was an animated mouse named Cheetos Mouse, which debuted in early 1971, but was replaced by smooth-talking Chester Cheetah in 1986. The official Cheetos slogans have changed over the years. Cheetos Mouse was known to say, "Chee-tos. Cheese that goes crunch!" and later "Hail Chee-sar!"

How are corn puff snacks made? Corn puffs are made using a method called "extrusion." Instead of using whole corn kernels, as with traditional popcorn, corn puffs begin with cornmeal. The cornmeal is mixed with water and extruded, or pushed, through a machine to form the basic shape.

Is puffcorn good for health? ›

Puff snacks typically offer very poor nutritional value from their constituents themselves. Nevertheless, since they are either baked or roasted, they are somewhat healthier than traditional fried snacks such as potato chips and french fries. A typical bag of puffed corn contains around 150 – 200 calories.

A Wotsits Giant measuring 10.66m (35ft) has broken the world record for the longest puffed corn snack. The snack took a team of eight people 2hr 29min to create at the Walkers factory in Leicester.

Popcorn is made from whole kernels of corn that are heated until the moisture inside them turns into steam. This causes the kernels to burst open, creating the fluffy, crispy popcorn we all know and love. Puff corn, on the other hand, is made from cornmeal, which is a finer grind of corn that has been pre-cooked.
