Takis are a Mexican brand of flavored rolled tortilla chips by Barcel, a subsidiary of Grupo Bimbo. Fashioned after the taquito, it comes in numerous flavors, [1] the best selling of which is the chili-lime "Fuego" flavor, sold in distinctive purple bags. Besides the rolled corn chips, Takis produces other snacks with the same flavor lines, including different potato chip varieties, corn "stix", popcorn, and peanuts.
Takis were invented in Mexico in 1999 and introduced to the United States in 2004 and Canada in 2015. Barcel originally intended to aim Takis towards a Hispanic demographic, but its popularity has quickly spread among Gen Z and Gen Alpha. [2] [3]
Takis are prepared in a variety of flavors, including:
In July 2020, Razor released their scooter designed with the Takis brand. [7] Also in that month, Totino's released Totino's Takis Fuego Mini Snack Bites, consisting of pizza snack rolls covered in Takis Fuego seasoning. [8] In October 2020, Takis introduced Takis Hot Nuts, featuring peanuts in a crunchy shell coated with Takis seasoning. Its flavors include Fuego, Flare and Smokin' Lime. [9] In 2021, Grupo Bimbo expanded the Takis snack portfolio to include:
There have been multiple claims on the Internet that Takis and other spicy snacks cause ulcers and cancer. Though the aforementioned claims have been confirmed as false, scientists and doctors have attributed gastritis and other stomach-related problems to Takis, though this has only been recorded to occur when ingesting too much of the snack. [12] Chronic gastritis can cause ulcers and stomach cancer. [13]
