Histori
Puff cheese was discovered independently by two companies in the United States during the 1930s. According to one account, Edward Wilson noticed strings of bloated corn coming out of a peeling machine in the mid-1930s at Flakall Corporation of Beloit, Wisconsin, a flaked and partially cooked animal feed manufacturer. He experimented and developed it into a snack. Clarence J. Schwebke applied for an enhanced extruder patent in 1939 and his product, named Korn Kurls, was commercialized in 1946 by the Adams Corporation, formed by one of the founders of Flakall and his sons. Adams was later bought by Beatrice Foods.
Another version was created by Elmer Candy Corporation in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1936. Sales manager Morel M. Elmer, Sr., held a contest to name the new product "CheeWees". The trademark was lost when the candy company was sold in 1963, but Elmer's Fine Foods family continued to make snacks and repurchased its name in 1993.
