So, who exactly came up with Takis? It’s a hot question on many snack lovers’ minds.
The Brilliant Minds Behind Takis
Takis is the creation of Barcel USA, a powerhouse in the snack industry. Barcel USA is a subsidiary of the global giant, Grupo Bimbo, headquartered in Mexico. This collaboration of experts in the food processing world brought to life the snack we now know and love for its kick and crunch.
The team at Barcel wanted to create something unique, something that would stand out in the crowded world of snack foods. They achieved this by rolling up their sleeves—literally—and rolling corn tortillas into the iconic shape that Takis are known for. This innovation combined with their fiery flavors has made Takis a staple in snack aisles across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Despite their international presence, the heart and soul of Takis remain firmly planted in their Mexican heritage.
Why Takis Are More Than Just a Snack
Aside from their intense flavors and spiciness, Takis have embedded themselves into the culture of snacking. Young audiences, in particular, are drawn to the brand’s boldness—not just in taste but in their vibrant presence on social media and through various collaborations with celebrities and other brands. Takis isn’t just about eating; it’s about belonging to a community that’s as diverse as its flavor lineup.
Seasoned developers at Barcel USA continue to innovate, creating limited-edition flavors and engaging with fans in new and exciting ways. This commitment to creativity and community has secured Takis’ place in the hearts (and pantries) of spicy snack lovers everywhere.
