About Wotsits
Wotsits are cheese-flavoured corn puffs sold in the United Kingdom, the British equivalent of Cheetos and made by Walkers. They are among the largest children's snack brands in Britain. PepsiCo owns them through Walkers, and the puffs are extruded rather than fried, which is why they are so light.
