It has the strong corn flavor that comes through on Fritos, but it's much more complex and satisfying with the addiction of sour lime and a big kick of spicy chile at the end." The very first time I tried Takis, I fell in love. I immediately wanted to finish the rest of the bag. I then continued to eat a bag every other day even though I knew it wasn't healthy. My friends and i used to argue about which chips were the best, either Hot Cheetos or Takis. Honestly Takis are some of the best chips I have ever had, just the way the chile rubs off as soon as you take a bite out of them or how you can hear the crunch while you chew, or even the knock of lime that appears after the first bite. Takis have almost everything someone could possibly want in a chip. They just have a certain taste and texture that makes

With giants such as Walmart, and Kroger running the grocery store industry it’s difficult for companies such as Smuckers to bargain for shelf-space and prices. Brand name items drawn to the center of the store are what leverages these companies to succeed in the industry.
