Fandangos is a brand of puffcorn snack made by Elma Chips, Brazilian representative of Frito-Lay and a subsidiary of PepsiCo. The snack was introduced in 1983, in corn flavor, as a shell-shaped parallel to Cheetos. It shortly became almost as popular as Cheetos with the Brazilian public. Over time, other flavors, like cheese and ham, were introduced.
In 2017, a version of the brand made with whole flour was sold.

The brand's mascot is a scarecrow called Spiguy, introduced in 1993, one year before the introduction of Chester Cheetah in Brazil.
Until 2005, Spiguy was drawn more like a traditional scarecrow, wearing a straw hat. From then on, a more "teenage" look was adopted, featuring a green baseball cap.
Some materials spell the character's name as Spiggy.
