The Cheesy Poofs packaging, depicting a rocket flying from a moon-like planet.
Cheesy Poofs are a fictional brand of cheese puffs that appear in South Park. They are the favorite food of Eric Cartman and are based on the real-life cheese puff brand, Cheetos.
Cheesy Poofs were first mentioned in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" when Cartman had them as his snack while watching television. They were also the first words in English that Starvin' Marvin learns in the ninth episode of the season. Cartman auditioned for the chance to sing the Cheesy Poofs Theme Song in a Cheesy Poofs advertisement in the Eleventh episode of Season Two, but his lines were cut leaving only the last word of the song saying "Lame". Beginning in the Third Season the show began to evolve and Cheesy Poofs were rarely seen at the time. In episode Three of Season Ten, Cartman used Cheesy Poofs as a diversion to cause Kyle to run off the road while they were riding big wheels on the highway. They were seen in Season Eleven episode, "Guitar Queer-O" during the first party scene. Their most recent appearence was in "A History Channel Thanksgiving", in which Cartman was eating them while not doing his share of the boys' school assignment.
According to a script for South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Cheesy Poofs are from Canada; this is another factor for Cartman joining La Resistance - however, this aspect of the film was never animated, so the information is likely non-canonical.
