Pirate's Booty is a puffed corn and rice snack food developed and produced in 1987[1] by Robert Ehrlich. B&G Foods acquired Robert's American Gourmet Food in June 2013.[2]

Ehrlich would often watch people purchasing cheese puffs in a local supermarket. The snack, Ehrlich explained, did not have "any real cheese in them... most of the ingredients you couldn't even pronounce."[3] Ehrlich then went on to found a snack brand known as Vegan Rob's, which makes cheese puffs with no cheese in them.[4]
