About funny-frisch

Intersnack Deutschland SE produces and distributes savory snacks in Germany under the funny-frisch brand. The product range includes potato chips (Chipsfrisch, Kessel Chips, Ofen Chips, Riffels, Intense Chips), corn snacks (Chitos, Cornados, Zwiebli-Ringe, Paprika Ecken, Hula Hoops), savory baked goods made from wheat flour (Brezli, Sticks, goldfischli, Intense Kruspers) as well as peanut-based products (Flippies, Donuts).
