Spicy rolled tortilla chip brand Takis debuted its newest flavor, Takis Cobra, and these chips taste like spicy Worcestershire sauce. Channeling the fiery intensity of a cobra, these spicy chips satisfy fans' cravings for new, exciting and spicy flavors and they set themselves apart from current offerings on the snack market.
Takis Cobra is available in a 9.9-ounce sharing size sold exclusively at Kroger and it will also be offered in a 3.25-ounce individual size at 7-Eleven as of July 8th. In partnership with TerraCycle, all Takis Cobra packaging can be recycled via TerraCycle.
To support this newly debuted flavor, Takis set up a Takis Cobra light projection at Kroger's home base in Cincinnati, with special sights to look out for near downtown hotspots like Great American Ball Park and Duke Energy Convention Center.
