Aligned with the All Intense, Not All Spicy campaign, six new Takis flavors launched to give snackers a choose-your-own-adventure experience that aligns with their desired level of intensity. From zero heat to hot, the range made without artificial colors introduces all-new flavors, like Xtreme Lime, which sits on one side of the spectrum, and hot Jalapeño Walmart-exclusive Hot Honey, which delivers smooth sweetness that builds to a lingering sweet heat. In the middle, mild options include Smokin' BBQ, briny Pickle Punch and Crazy Buffalo.
"These All Intense, Not All Spicy flavors show that intensity isn't one-dimensional," said Sandra Kirkpatrick, Senior Director of Marketing at Takis. "From zero heat to hot, this new lineup allows us to reach consumers and delivers craveable flavors for every taste preference."
