Bugles: the crunchy American snack you wear on your fingers!

Ever seen Americans put Bugles on their fingertips to look like witches? That's the real Bugles tradition! This cone-shaped corn snack, launched in 1966 by General Mills, is far more than a simple bite — it's a ritual. Crunchy, light and frankly addictive, Bugles are an institution of American snacking. At My American Market, we import them straight from the States.

Did you know Bugles have been around since 1966?

General Mills launched Bugles in 1966, and the success was instant. The idea? Create a corn-flour snack in a unique shape — a little hollow cone that looks like a bugle horn. That iconic shape is what makes Bugles so recognizable and so fun to eat. You can crunch them, fill them with dip, or pop them on your fingers — pick your technique!

What really sets Bugles apart from regular chips is the texture: super light and crunchy, with a delicate corn taste. Much less greasy than a lot of snacks, but just as satisfying. And in Nacho Cheese or Ranch, it's seriously so good at apéritif time!

The Bugles to discover

Bugles Original — the plain corn classic, crunchy and lightly salted. The mandatory starting point for any US snack fan!
Bugles Nacho Cheese — the nacho cheese that coats every cone with an intense, indulgent flavor. Perfect for apéritif!
Bugles Hidden Valley Ranch — that so-American ranch taste on the most fun snack there is. A collab that's a hit!

Frequently asked questions about Bugles

What exactly are Bugles?

Bugles are little crunchy cones made from corn flour. Not quite chips, not quite savory crackers — they're in a category of their own. Light, hollow and super crunchy, they're perfect for dipping or eating plain.

Can you really put them on your fingers?

Oh yes! It's a very real American tradition — the kids (and the grown-ups!) put a Bugle on each finger to make "witch claws." Pretty fun for a Halloween night, right?

Where to buy Bugles in Europe?

Bugles are nearly impossible to find in regular European stores! They're available at My American Market, your online American grocery store, imported straight from the States and shipped across Europe.
