Takis aren’t for everyone. Maybe you don’t like corn chips. Maybe you have a phobia of things that are shaped like tubes (I’m certain this exists). But, most likely, you don’t like or can’t handle spice. And Takis are pretty spicy. Fuego, the brand’s most ubiquitous flavor, clocks in at around 8,000 Scoville units, which means they’re about as spicy as the spiciest jalapeño pepper. There is no shame in not wanting to eat a snack that’s going to make your nose run and force you to drink an entire 32-ounce Nalgene of water. Snack time doesn’t have to feel like a challenge from your middle school bully. And Takis gets that. The brand recently released Takis Intense Nacho, their very first non-spicy flavor. Are Takis still good if they don’t mildly upset you? Is the nacho cheese flavor as intense as promised? We picked up a bag to find out.
