Bugles were introduced by General Mills in 1964, first showing up in a handful of test markets before going national in 1966. The crunchy little horn-shaped corn snacks were part of a new wave of fun-shaped snack foods, but Bugles were the one that really lasted.
Of course, for a lot of us, the real fun was putting them on the tips of your fingers before eating them. Some snacks were made to taste good. Bugles were made to play with first.
