If you think Funyuns were made with onions — you'd be wrong. Funyuns aren't so much "onion rings" as they are "onion-flavored rings." It's the same idea as "chocolate-flavored coating" or "cheese-flavored puffs." What Funyuns are made up of, in reality, is actually a cornmeal mix molded and baked into an onion ring shape, before being covered in an onion and salt powder (via How It's All Made).
A TikTok from the Food Network went into detail about the Funyuns creation process, leaving some commentators shocked about the lack of onions in these onion ring snacks. "It's not even onion?? It's just corn meal and water??? Noooooooooooooooooooo," was the response of one commentator. One seemingly annoyed TikToker wrote, "So $2.89 for a small bag of corn meal and seasoning," while yet another stated, "Hold up. I thought these were made with some sort of onion. Lord."
It seems, however, that many of the commentators already know that Funyuns aren't made with real onions. They, instead, wrote about their fond childhood memories of eating Funyuns. Some did, however, make snide comments that Lay's was charging too much for Funyuns and air.
