Takis' Dragon Sweet Chili Flavor Is Finally Available In The US
Takis' Dragon Sweet Chili is finally making its debut in the U.S. after finding popularity in Canada where it won the 2022 Product of the Year Award. First introduced in 1999 in Mexico, Takis quickly became one of the most popular spicy snacks.
In March 2023, Takis launched a cheesy non-spicy flavor of its tortilla chips called Intense Nacho. Now the brand is adding a sweet rendition to its roster. It's described as still having the spicy flavor profile the brand is known for though. According to a June 13 press release the snack has "intensely sweet bite with a ferocious kick of spice."
People weigh in on social media
The Dragon Sweet Chili flavor joins a fiery ever-expanding lineup, including Fuego, Crunchy Fajita, Blue Heat, and Nitro. Takis are high among the ranks of spicy chip snacks among chips lovers alongside Hot Cheetos and Chester's Fries. Whether you are a strong stan of one particular brand or an enjoyer of all spicy chips, Takis' latest Dragon Sweet Chili flavor is most likely going to receive varying opinions. The flavor has been an exclusive item in Canada and it has gotten divided remarks on social media.
In a Reddit thread about the flavor, one person commented that the chips tasted like "sweet chili with a spicy aftertaste (not that sweet)." A few users observed that Dragon Sweet Chili is reminiscent of Doritos' Sweet Chili. But if you can't handle spice, you may want to stay away from this flavor. One person raved on Twitter that "Takis Dragon Sweet Chili will burn a hole going through you and it's worth every bite." If you can't get enough of Dragon Sweet Chili, the flavor is also available online from Canada as wavy potato chips.
