Fans will appreciate being able to experience the brand's signature intensity and crunch in the form of potato chips, cheese snacks, ready-to-eat popcorn, corn stick snacks and hot nuts.
The Takis Waves, Watz, POP!, Stix and Hot Nuts are being introduced to the world with a fresh new packaging design that puts the brand's signature purple color front and center. Each bold snack package also includes a "flavor tornado effect" that conveys the unique mix of flavors and textures within. Additionally, the refreshed packaging revives the Takis Heat-O-Meter so that people will be sure of how fiery the snack is.
