Your Takis Obsession Could Actually Win You $5,000

Do you like Takis? Yeah? Well, how much do you like them? Are you like us: Committed enough to try every Takis flavor and rank them accordingly? Or, are you the kind of person who calls yourself a superfan, but in actuality, you like your life and your relationship with the chip brand to be relatively easy?

Look, we wouldn’t blame you if the latter was the case – and if it is, we have some good news for you. Takis has just launched its Most Intense Fan campaign, which offers folks the chance to win $5,000. Luckily, though, it doesn’t seem like you have to do that much to enter. Let’s discuss.

Are You Intense Enough to…Fill in a Form?

Takis Most Intense Fan campaign is, for all intents and purposes, a sweepstakes – but to enter, you have to prove that you’re into these chips. In its press release to Sporked, Takis called this a “new campaign celebrating the fans who go harder, louder, and more unapologetically than anyone else, and says that “Takis believes true fandom isn’t casual, it’s intense.” However, by the looks of things, you don’t have to be that intense to be included. As far as we can see, all you have to do is go to the link above and fill in a form for the opportunity to win 5k. You don’t even have to buy anything. That’s the low of low-commitment intensity we can get behind.

In addition to one grand prize of $5,000, Takis is also giving out thousands of prize packs to lucky winners, which may include Takis-branded cowbells, foam hats, horns, scarves, socks, jerseys, luggage tags, and/or stress balls. The latter is for you to squeeze when your fandom gets a bit too intense. Plus, in true 2026 fashion, Takis is “activating influencers across the U.S. to act as “City Captains,” tapping into local pride and rivalries to rally fans and drive voting in cross-city matchups.” We love an influencer-led brand activation. 

How Long Do I Have to Enter? 

The Most Intense Fan campaign is running until June 30, and you can enter either online or by scanning a QR code on Takis packaging. Winners will be notified by July 15. Bear in mind that you have to be 18 or over and a resident of the US to enter. 

Sweepstakes are all the rage at the moment in the food world. Shake Shack, Nothing Bundt Cakes, and Mountain Dew have all run (or are running) them in recent memory, and a delightfully strange one just came from Adrien Grenier of The Devil Wears Prada fame, who’s giving away a big old bunch of cheese. Yes, you read that correctly.
