Both Takis and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are very popular snacks when it comes to teenagers. Most teens crave hot, fiery flavors, and there are plenty of options when it comes to spicy snacks. This article will let Takis and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Battle it out for the title of best spicy snack

Flamin’ Hot Cheetos were created by Richard Montañez,  who was a janitor at the Frito-Lay plant in California. It was understood that the factory made a batch that seemed faulty because the machine lacked the brand’s beloved cheese coating. Montañez brought those uncovered Cheetos home and covered them with chili powder, which created the notable spicy snack. 

Meanwhile, Takis were created in Mexico and have a very intense flavor. They are crunchy corn tortilla chips that are rolled, with the main flavors of chili and lemon. Takis are crunchier and deliver more up-front tartness. On the other hand, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are puffy and brimming with spicy cheese.

It has been noted by public schools around the nation that Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are delicious, but they’re not exactly healthy food, which is one of the reasons they’ve been banned at certain schools.

  Takis are enlivened with a more tangy, spicy lime chile, which provides a clear spice and lime flavor from the first bite; nevertheless, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos flavor builds over time, and Hot Cheetos are known for burning the throat in the best spicy way. Takis produce an immediate tangy sensation coupled with an equally pleasing level of heat.

Takis are the better option between the two. Takis are known for their bold taste that is spicy and seems to pack heat in every bite with flavors such as Nitro and Fuego. Takis might also edge out Flamin’ Hot Cheetos because of their distinctive texture. 

In a poll done by the FVHS newspaper on Instagram, it was found that the most popular of the two was Takis, which won by 75 percent. Takis deliver a satisfying crunch that’s just different from the puffier texture of a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto which gives a puffy crunch. Takis often collaborate with brands and celebrities to bring out limited-edition flavors, keeping their product exciting and fresh. Takis always have something different 

Both hot and spicy snacks have great taste and flavor, but Takis has a longer flavor that will last.
