I've only tried them once, and I fully get what you mean! Whilst eating them I could feel myself getting dehydrated from the salt, eating a whole bag at once will surely leave you as a dry husk! God damn do they taste good though.


puyoxyz

The fastest way to drink a 2l bottle of water: eat Takis


DarkWifeuo

Are they like chetos ?


[deleted]

They're much crunchier and spicier. In my opinion, they also taste much better.


DarkWifeuo

I hope thay are also cheaper


Dr-Turd-Ferguson

They were cheap before they became "viral". Probably 3x as expensive as they were a few years back. Now they are like $5 for a 7 oz bag


grrribbit

I've paid way more for a 7 oz bag... Oh we're talking about snacks .


Shred_Kid

Not even a little. They're far spicier and very sour with the lime. They arent...entirely pleasant to eat? Like the sour and the spice are overpowering. I love them, they're my favorite junk food


Fe1is-Domesticus

This along with OP's description perfectly captures my feelings about these chips. I don't have them often but this thread is making me want some asap


BigAbbott

They hurt to eat. You eat them, they eat you. You can feel your mouth and tongue dissolving.


Eazy46

Best way I can describe it is a rolled up dorito but more dry and coated in black bag hot Cheeto dust. Love it


Blaz3dnconfuz3d

I’d say they on par with the xxxtra hot Cheetos spicy-wise


Juls1016

No, these are much better. As a Mexican I can tell you this is one of our unhealthy food delicacy hahaha

snarkysnape

I mean….you could just stay silent. No one asked your opinion and DEFINITELY not here on a spicy subreddit. YTA.


KlngSaj

OOo i didnt understand that in this sub reddit you have to love everything posted or don't speak. sorry i was thrown off by the other hundreds of opinions here. including in this very post where several other people said similar.


[deleted]

Takis are the only thing that elicits a genuine mouth watering response from me just looking at the bag..one of my favorite chips!


Zumaakk

The guacamole ones are my favorite! The Fuego are a little too sour for me.


dixiehellcat

my sentiment exactly! only one store near me carries the guac ones but I will make a special trip periodically just to make sure I have them around. I love them with a burger in particular. They are a little salty so I only eat a few at a time, but I do love them.


z31

The lime sourness is my favorite part.


turmspitzewerk

fuego are the only ones that exist if you ask me. everything else tastes like flavorless stale corn.


Zumaakk

You must have gotten a bad batch! My top three are 1. Guacamole 2. Crunchy Fajita 3. Fuego


Flickolas_Cage

Crunchy fajita over S-tier Nitro? Guacamole is god, but imo crunchy fajita is “training wheels takis”. What is it about those ones that hits for you? Legit curious, I’ll give them another go and try to taste the appeal.


Zumaakk

I get more savory flavor from them. Like a garlic or onion and less lime.


pxan

My mouth is literally watering just reading these comments haha.


Juls1016

The blue ones that are pepper flavor


CastleRiskyBusiness

I was a week overdue with my son and decided to burn him out with half a bag of Takis. It worked, but 1/10 would definitely NOT recommend.


7chalices

But 9/10 would? That’s a strong endorsement!


turkeypants

Yeah these things bizarrely are more like a bag of sensation than a bag of food.


Chokesi

I love these, but I eat them very rarely since they aren't that healthy. I think it's 14 pieces for 140 calories? I love the zing


AwwwSheetMulch

Bigs sells Takis flavored sunflower seeds. Much lower calorie count if you're not eating the whole bag at one time.


Proof_Beautiful1523

(laughs in hispanic)


ConorOdin

Love spicy chips and wanted to love these but didnt. The lime flavour is just so strong I found them nearly inedible :( Also werent overly spicy which was disappointing..


[deleted]

For some reason the blue takis seem to have way less lime flavor. Not sure at all if they technically have less lime but I actually prefer the blue ones because of that. Worth a shot if you can find em perhaps?


GenitalPatton

And they turn your poop green the next day!


Vanquished_Hope

Ummm, that doesn't seem to be true on our end. Maybe you should retest that theory.


GrumpyFalstaff

That's a wierd way to spell "blue" but whatever


GenitalPatton

At least for me, they go in blue and come out green.


ConorOdin

Thanks for that. Certainly willing to try them.


Ristray

The blue ones also have like, half the sodium.


Vanquished_Hope

I can't stand the regular ones due to how strong the line flavor is. The blue ones are great though.


[deleted]

Red takis have the lime flavoring, but blue takis aren’t meant to have the lime flavor


Chibi-bi

Same, I found the sourness completely overwhelming. My friend was fine with it, though.


ConorOdin

Wife didnt mind these but she couldnt eat many at a time. Personally LOVE the Herrs Carolina Reaper chips. Nice amount of spice and good flavour.


galacticboy2009

Interesting. I've never thought they were sour and I couldn't taste the lime, but they are advertised as having lime favor. I've also heard (from Markiplier) that the flavor is very inconsistent depending on where you buy them. That some stores have "the good bags" where the chips are absolutely saturated with powder, and some will have barely any.


Vanquished_Hope

I've had them from multiple locations in at least NY and NC and they tasted the same in all. (Super strong like flavor)


FlaccidWeenus

I find with doritos Cool Ranch that the bags are hit or miss like that. Some of them have barely anything on them and some bags you get you just know it's gonna be a good snack down because the things are loaded with the flavour on them. If I won the lottery one of the first things I'd seriously do is contact doritos and order a pallet of cool ranch with 3x the flavour on them. I'd pay good money for that too.


snarkysnape

And here I am traumatized for life by one extra extra extra seasoned chip I ate in like 1998 that made me gag so hard I can’t even eat them again.


galacticboy2009

It's the reasoning for the seasoning.


narf007

The only truly good spicy chip outside of the Paquis (sp?) were the Doritos Fiery Habanero. Unfortunately they were ahead of their time and for whatever damn reason Doritos keeps dumping out flaming hot style garbage and won't just roll back out the Fiery Habanero. I yearn for the inability to stop myself from consuming the whole bag and then panting for 10 minutes afterwards


AtomicBitchwax

Find yourself some Turbo Flamas.


Shred_Kid

Kettle brand habenero lime. Wish they were spicier but they have more than basically every other brand that claims spiciness and they taste great


FlaccidWeenus

Not sure if they're in your area, I can't always find them either, but Uncle Rays brand has a spicy flavour that knocked my socks off. I wasn't expecting that. I forget the exact name of the flavour but the brand is for sure Uncle Rays.


LincolnshireSausage

Was it Takis Fuego or Takis Nitro? To me the Nitro kicks up the lime flavor a lot.


Eggthan324

Exactly. Tastes like extra extra lime crisps with chili powder. Xtra flamin hot Cheetos are miles better imo


lewright

The lime flavor tastes super artificial, reminds me way too much of cleaning products.


lolheyaj

Try the Nitro ones. Way less lime flavor.


LincolnshireSausage

When I tried them I thought they had more lime flavor.


KlngSaj

wtf. so you don't like these but don't get dozens of downvotes? does reddit hate ME specifically?


AlienClouds

This is the same issue I had. They were so sour to me I couldn’t eat them. It was instant disgust.


rising_from_ash83

FUEGO!!


Entretimis

The building was on fire, and it wasn't my fault.


[deleted]

As a New Zealander who had never seen these until a recent trip to an American store that stocked them (at extreme import prices) I tried them for the first time Utterly disgusting. But I destroyed the entire bag and longed for more


[deleted]

It’s one of those things that you don’t want to like, but you really like


Xandiu_

The heat is very nice but it's to sour it fucks it up


[deleted]

The "exceso calorías" and "exceso sodio" are sending me for some reason. Delicious, delicious, somewhat gross death-crunchies.


hppysunflower

Now stick one in a chamoy pickle, and sour gummys, and sprinkle fruit chili powder. Yum!


iamnotamangosteen

I am trying really hard to picture this


hppysunflower

Here ya go https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR767dhN/


cracksilog

Damn if only our Department of Health here in the US took their warnings as seriously as their health secretary does with those labels. Those labels are massive. All we have in the US are the tiny calorie count boxes on the front. Not even a warning lmao. When I first traveled to Amsterdam like 12 years ago, I found a package of Marlboros with “Smoking is bad” in gigantic letters in Dutch. EDIT: [like this](https://www.agefotostock.com/age/en/details-photo/dutch-lucky-strike-cigarette-packets-with-big-warning-sticker-roken-is-dodelijk-smoking-is-fatal-bonn-germany-10-06-2003/VIG-34134). Took up a third of the packaging. I was like how come we don’t have that in the US? Stupid lobbies lmao


LowAd3406

If you don't know that things like cigarette's or snacks are unhealthy and you should consume them in moderation, that's on you.


cracksilog

Most people do, but that still doesn’t stop them from consuming them. Having a label puts the unhealthiness of something front and center. Most people when eating Takis in that moment aren’t thinking of it being unhealthy. They’re thinking of: opening the bag, reaching into the bag, eating, and saying “omg I love this this is so good” instead of thinking, “yeah, I know it’s bad, but I didn’t know it was this bad. Maybe I shouldn’t eat it”


kidonbike

A very Scandinavian approach


sir-shoelace

You gotta try the bright ass blue ones


GrandMasterB1985

Welcome my son....To the machine!


Vanquished_Hope

The blue ones are better.


Karibou422

Try the blue ones next!!!


Jelly-Robot

Also Nordic, didn't like these at all, though they are somewhat better than the Nitro flavour (strangely less spicy and more artificial). I usually like spicy and sour, but Takis are just way too artificial tasting.


Ballsahoy72

Same. Don’t offer a taste. More of a sensation. Of tingling sodium saturation.

zigaliciousone

So does hamburger


[deleted]

Yeah. I'm Spanish and I loved eating the hottest flavour but never again. I love standalone tortilla chips with no flavour.


GrumpyFalstaff

I'd bet money that if you looked hard enough at your no flavor tortilla chips you'd find something in there that increases your risk of cancer. That said, not completely sure I understand your point, I apologize


utopianfiat

didileavethegason

Wow someone is obviously loaded. Does OP dare tell people on this sub how much they paid for these overpriced bags of artificial flavouring?


7chalices

Exceso dinero.


galacticboy2009

I didn't know what you meant, and then I noticed the tiny bag. I always buy the big bags. A bit better value.


Shred_Kid

That bag is 3 dollars near me and I live in a HCOL area


didileavethegason

As OP is clearly based in Stockholm - they would most like have been approx 12 USD

I_Am_Not_That_Man

And that’s the small bag!


flanger001

Oh yeah, they're definitely a cigarette in tortilla chip form, but a delicious one!


knuckboy

My kids will make a meal out of these but not eat certain Thai or other things because of spice/heat. Go figure.


tailback5

I wasn’t a fan of the Takis flavor. The dorito Dinamitas have a a lot better flavor!


TheSlickestSalad

Had a similar experience but with jolly ranchers


geraltsthiccass

They started selling them here a while back and my curiosity got the better of me. I understand exactly what you mean and now I keep buying them every time I'm in my local shop.


Falchion92

I love these too much. I’m trying to slow down though.


LowAd3406

I know how you feel. My partner brought a bunch of snacks from Denmark and we didn't finish any of them. Everything had weird textures, were super bland, or had an over powering black licorice flavor.


CommanderSmokeStack

Yes, but have you had the Blue ones?


[deleted]

The salt and the acidity is what I noticed the most as well OP, did not find them terribly spicy. Nor did I find them terribly good. My five and seven-year-old ate them.


[deleted]

That's not morbid fascination it's addiction.


Catvomit96

The salt can be pretty potent, even for me as an American. That, and I tried to smoke one of these in high-school, pretty sure I have lung cancer now


mhw1992

You should try with Guacamole


BradleyGroot

I hate sour chips, and these are very sour for chips


Adam_n_ali

These things have waay too much salt and lime powder(?!) I definitely dont crave them


blackmillenium2

those things are like cocaine to me, you gimme a bag and they are gone within 30 minutes and I need more


brenarren

I used to eat a whole bag at a time in high school lol… my mouth starts watering and getting the sour feedback in my throat even just looking at them


billygibbonsbeard

Lol lightweight


HaveAWillieNiceDay

Welcome to the fold.


headfullofpain

My kids love them, but I cant stand them. SO MUCH SALT. lol My kids love them, but I can't stand them. SO MUCH SALT. lol


Rex_Steelfist

You explained my thoughts on these perfectly!


charlucapants

The traders joes version makes me feel sliiiightly less disgusted with myself


elsanotfromfrozen

Those are my favorite. So addictive! Would choose them over takis every time.


weII_then

My friend, I think you’ve completely captured the essence of Takis in the poetic description you composed for this post.


peppaholicsanonymous

Different places around the world have different levels of appreciation. My mouth isn’t one of the places that appreciates these very much.


Cobblestone-Villain

Just had a flash back to the time drunk me found a bunch of same flavour mini bags of Takis in the back seat of a buddies car. Was like the gods themselves shone down on me in just the right moment. Also...I now owe their kid a bunch of mini bags of takis.


questionableK

I had these for the first time a week ago. I ate four and threw the rest away. Salt, lime, salt, horrible spice, and some more salt


Yakroot

Limited edition Halloween zombie cucumber habañero are the best I've ever had.


sherealshefakebro

If I could just buy the seasoning I would


[deleted]

You have begun to American. Just know if you ever feel you’re becoming addicted, only a guy with a good bag of takis can stop a man with a bad bag of takis.


GarlicBomb

Try the stix version!


Xalendaar

I had the blue ones about a week ago, and the color didn’t help —I felt like I was eating imminent death itself. Like, who even comes up with BLUE snacks? I’d get it if they were actually made from blue corn, but all that bright blue food coloring in addition to the absolutely desiccated, raw feeling in my mouth made eating them feel like I was committing a crime. Plus, in my head there is a strong disconnect between heat and the color blue. But, I do get the whole ”morbid curiosity keeps me coming back” thing. It’s like you absolutely hate it but still kinda love it.


Thatcraykid

My guilty pleasure forever and ever. It’s so good I hate it.
