General Mills Bugles

Bugles are a corn snack produced by General Mills and Tom's Snacks (under license from General Mills).

Bugles were developed by a food engineer, Verne E. Weiss of Plymouth Minnesota. Bugles were test-marketed in 1965 and introduced nationally in early 1966 as one of several new General Mills snacks, including flower-shaped Daisies, wheel-shaped Pizza Spins and tube-shaped Whistles, all of which were discontinued in the 1970s.

From the time of their creation in the mid-1960s, General Mills' Bugles were manufactured at a plant in West Chicago, Illinois, until that plant's closure in 2017. Bugles and the other snacks were also produced in Lancaster, Ohio starting in 1966. It is now a Ralston Foods Plant part of Con-Agra.
