Takis Just Made Cheetos (Basically) and Also Dropped Three New Flavors

Hey guess what: Takis makes Cheetos now. I mean, to be clear, Takis didn’t team up with Cheetos to make a new Cheetos flavor (though that would be pretty neat). They’re basically releasing a Cheetos’ knock-off called “Takis Pix.” If that sounds uninteresting to you, WAIT. Don’t go. I have even more important news: 

Along with Pix, Takis will release three brand new flavors in their OG rolled-corn-chip style. Now we’re talking, Takis. Now. We’re. Talking.

What are the new Takis flavors? 

The three new flavors hitting their rolled corn chip line-up are: 

• Takis Smokin’ BBQ
• Takis Xtreme Lime 
• Takis Pickled Jalapeno

Meanwhile, the two new Takis Pix flavors are:

• Takis Pix Fuego (duh)
• Takis Pix Cheezy Blast 

As the resident Takis fan of the Sporked team (not to out my fellow Sporked writers, but I’m pretty sure they all find Takis too heavy on the citric acid and not super enjoyable), I’m taking this news with the appropriate level of excitement. Pickled Jalapeno sounds pretty funky, in a good way. And I’m not sure how their lime flavor could get any more extreme than it already is, but I’m more than willing to find out. 

To be honest, though, I’m a tiny bit skeptical about Pix, aka the crunchy Cheetos dupes. Takis has a ton of snack product lines outside of their original rolled corn chip, and most (if not all) of them are just not nearly as good as their flagship snack. 

Really? How many Takis varieties are out there? 

Too many!!! Here’s a quick rundown: 

• Takis Rolls (the OG rolled corn chip)
• Takies Waves (wavy potato chips)
• Takis Kettlez (kettle potato chips)
• Takis Chippz (regular potato chips)
• Takis Crisps (Pringles dupes)
• Takis Hot Nuts (flavored peanuts)
• Takis Stix (light, stick-shaped corn snacks)
• Takis Duo (sweet watermelon popcorn mixed with OG Fuego Takis in one bag)

You’re right, Ariana, as always. They are doing too much. I still want to try these new Takis, though. Where can I find them? 

Any major stores that currently sell Takis, like Walmart and Target (plus Amazon), should be stocking them soon! I don’t have an exact timeline for you yet, but big thanks to @markie_devo on IG for breaking this news.
