Maruchan, the producer of America’s favorite instant ramen noodles, and Funyuns, the iconic onion-flavored rings by Frito-Lay, has recently announced of their collaboration to introduce a fiery new limited-edition snack: Funyuns x Maruchan Hot & Spicy Chicken Ramen Onion Flavored Rings.
This unexpected flavor mash-up offers an innovative flavor combination, merging the zesty onion profile of classic Funyuns with the robust, savory notes of Maruchan’s Hot & Spicy Chicken Flavor Instant Lunch. Funyuns and Maruchan Ramen fans alike will rejoice as two beloved foods come together in one powerful snack, all wrapped up in the iconic ring shape.

We believe this fusion will resonate strongly with our existing fans while also attracting new snackers who are eager to explore bold, creative flavor combinations.”
