Bugles

Bugles are a corn snack produced by General Mills. Bugles were developed by a food engineer, Joe Appelbaum, who also created Daisies. 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 exclusively at a plant in West Chicago, Illinois, until that plant's closure in 2017.
