Frequently asked
- Is Takis Fuego healthy?
- Takis' numbers are ordinary chip numbers: 140 calories and 8g of fat per ounce. What sets them apart is intensity: enough salt, citric acid, and heat that pediatricians see kids with irritated stomachs from eating half a bag. The rolled crunch and lime-fire flavor are the addiction; both are replicable with less punishment.
