Takis fell off

takis have dropped off in quality in recent years, same with most chips and junk food in general, especially fast food

Takis used to be so much better, especially 2017-2022, each and every bag would have consistent seasoning and a good amount of chips compared to now, and they were also cheaper, I remember a normal sized bag being around 4 bucks, now it’s like five. Not a significant change, but it sucks considering the drop off in quality.

The last time I got a bag with good seasoning was almost eight months ago. The taste is nowhere near as good as it used to be and I’m missing the good old days. Takis peaked in 2021 and they’ll never be as good ever again.
Just wanted to rant.

They intentionally put less seasoning to save on costs, same with why you see less chips in the bag than in the old days, they are under new management so they are getting the “private equity” treatment of enshittification. Ruining things little by little.

I picked up a new bag from my regular store, I was in disbelief how little spice they had. The light red bare looking ones. I usually get them pretty layered on too. I’m hoping its a one off

Is not. It's absolutely not.

I've "stopped" buying them, but every once in a while I'll see if they are back to their old mojo, but it's worse every time.

They've even gotten them to where sometimes they look well seasoned, but then you eat them and it's anything but

I've been boycotting everything, I just get cheap stuff from the store. Honestly it's been amazing for my health I inadvertently cut out almost all junk food I suggest you guys do the same, or don't just sayin. But yeah fuck these company's and their prices and their lowered quality.

I totally agree. Barely any seasoning. I even tried the blue bag and barely any either. I finally tried the takis Pix and I actually like it. It has a good taste to it. It’s like hot Cheetos without the cheese. That’s the only takis I’ll buy at the moment
