Let’s find the BEST and WORST TAKIS!

We ate 14 TAKIS products back-to-back in search of our favorite flavor of their flamin hot snacks!
From spicy rolled tortilla chips to hot nuts and meat sticks, we accepted the challenge of obtaining and eating every Takis item we could find and offering our genuine reaction to trying nearly each of them for the first time.
We hope you enjoy hangin’ with us throughout this spicy snacks taste test and it would mean a ton if you dropped the video a ‘LIKE’ and subscribe to our eating show while you’re here!
Much love,
-Pete & Nate

FAQ’s:
Most of your questions were probably answered in this video:
• The Longest Mukbang Ch...
Extremely insightful video into how it works:
• How Matt Stonie stays ...
Q: How do you not gain weight?
A: Endurance sports (primarily running, cycling and some resistance training) and extreme discipline & sacrifice with our daily diets is how we manage not to gain weight. We eat mostly vegetables, fruits, some whole grains and low fat dairy on the days outside these videos. The calories consumed in a food challenge or mukbang are the only calories consumed that day and sometimes the day following as well seeing our appetites are typically shot from so much food and the thought of eating is very off-putting. Two days out we are back to large amounts of vegetables and increase to maintenance from there. We also often eat most of our days calories in a smaller eating window (we frequently bounce between intermittent fasting & OMAD diet as it just seems to work with our lifestyles and eating preferences). Anyone with a larger than normal stomach capacity like us, the drive to push through the discomfort of a challenge like this, and a basic understanding of energy balance (calories in vs calories out) can do it with enough disciple and intention (not that we recommend it).
Also worth mentioning is that we do not exercise to burn the calories consumed in a video but rather we are able to consume higher calorie diets due to our participation in endurance activities and said discipline with our daily diets.
Q: Can you make a “What I eat in a day” / fitness focused video?
A: While we’re sure that type of video will eventually make its way out there, this is not a health and fitness channel and we intend to primarily focus on indulgent food entertainment. We’re still in the very early stages of establishing ourselves within this genre and we’re constantly experimenting and trying to improve upon our style to make our channel a unique experience. Food is our passion while fitness is our discipline so, while we currently only have the availability to produce one quality piece of content a week, fun food-centered videos is where we’ll be focusing our attention (and trust us, it’s more fun for all of us this way). That’s not to say it will never happen, but it’s not a top priority for us.

For some reason, I overlooked this one and didn't think I'd enjoy it all that much (I know! I'm sorry! I've no idea why either!) but just watched it and LOVED it. The whole thing had such immersive momentum that I became thoroughly invested in analysing a product range I cannot buy. Impressive work, guys.

Great new format guys! I usually “save” watching your video for later in the week so I don’t have to wait a whole week for the next one, but I couldn’t resist 😂 what do you think about doing something similar with Kinder products? Or maybe a challenge? Keep it up!! Love your content

[@TheTakedownTwins]

So glad you enjoyed it! We love kinder so we’ll have to keep that in mind for sure! The options here in the states are pretty limited, but hopefully we can score some good imports to have a lot of options for that vid sooner than later. We appreciate the love and support 🙏 Stay awesome 😎

I loved this video! I'm from Mexico, the country where the Takis brand comes from. Here we have a great variety of products and however the Hot Nuts have always been my favorite. I discovered your channel a few days ago and since I couldn’t stop watching your videos, I love it!! ❤ lots of love from Mexico to you guys!!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

😅 luckily not as spicy as we expected!

[@keira-stickybuns]

Wow, I've never tried any Takis before, but I'm not hugely keen on hot and spicy food, so I'd generally avoid something like this. The guacamole ones piqued my interest a bit, though, and possibly the flare nuts. Glad you guys took one for the team and did the taste test for us! LOL. Thank you. And congrats on the big jump over 30k. It's starting to all pay off for you. I'm so happy :)

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’re with you there! Definitely must be why we loved those flare peanuts and the crunchy fajita tortilla chips so much. SO flavorful without the discomfort 😅 So glad you enjoyed the video and we really appreciate the love and support 💙

I would have never thought there would be so many different Takis products! I’ve only had them once a very long time ago, and wasn’t a big fan. Might need to go back and try them again now :) Loved the video as always Pete and Nate. 🙌❤️

[@dianarojas5210]

You guys should do a video of trying Mexican desserts/pastries since you guys are all about sweets 😄 if you ever do decide to do a video I would suggest - flan, pan dulce specifically concha’s, gansitos, cuernos, galletas marias, gelatina etc

[@lisabloom14]

Can you do a video for best and worst movie theatre foods, specifically I can think of about 30 flavors of popcorn from major brands (at least!)

[@hd.astrixx5714]

Love the video guys, one day you have to try the fugeo stix. It's a small chip so the spice level isn't intense but you still get the fuego amazing powder on each one making it a great balance of flavorful spice without making it a nose running expirenece. I'm obsessed.

[@zayden0077]

Loved the video! There's just something about your comparison videos that I especially enjoy. I'm shocked at how many different Taki products there are -- for some reason, I only ever think of blue and the original red Takis.

[@ZKEclipse]

Great editing already, always wondered what program do you use to edit these videos and did you have any experience editing before making this channel?

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Wow! We really appreciate that 🙏 We do everything between photoshop and DaVinci Resolve. Pete creates all the graphics in photoshop and Nate does the video work in Resolve. We’ve done commercial editing but nothing like what we do on here. Everything prior to the channel was very basic comparatively so it’s been fun getting outside of comfort zones and challenging ourselves lately with the edits for sure!

[@victoriahayden2961]

Oh I’m so jealous. We don’t get these in the U.K. but they do sell them in Spain so I had them this year when I was on vacation in Mallorca. They were yummy. They were just the original ones I think… I’d like to try the blue ones - only because I love blue sweets so blue chips massively appeals to me! Much love ❣️

[@alexanderweir2382]

I'm also from the UK and I've found more flavours of takis going to American sweet shops (or candy stores) in shopping centres

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We went back to a few of the flavors after the video to double check how we felt in the video and surprisingly the Blue Heat remained extremely similar to the Original for us! But the color is a fun difference 😁 Much love right back to ya!

[@JulianYach]

Would love to see an episode where u guys show some of ur workout regimens/what u guys do to keep in shape from all those massive challenges. I’m sure it’s not too bad bc I’m assuming ur both endurance athletes + law of thermodynamics probably means u can still eat ~2000 cals for the week following a massive challenge to make up, but would still be interesting!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Some info on that is in the description box of this vid. We’ve stepped away from the massive challenges massively so the amount we have to compensate is far lower lately. Ultimately we’re more passionate about making eating / food content so those are the videos we’l prioritize but if we ever get inspired to create something around that side of things we’ll give it a go 🙂

[@theindecisivebean]

I have never had Takis before actually, and I had no idea they had so many different flavours!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We didn’t realize how many options they had either until we came across a big selection recently! Turns out they have even more as well but this was all the ones we could find in person 😅 WILD!

Idk how you can eat those Takis without any reaction! Idk if it is just me, but they are spicy!

Another great video. My sister loved eating takis. When we lived in Texas there was a Mexican store in our area and my sister would get their chili pepper suckered and liked them. I personally don't like spice that well

Chili pepper sucker sounds like an interesting try! We don’t spring for the spicy snacks either typically but it was fun to give ‘em a try being so out of our normal 🙂

I'm not a fan of Takis, but it was fun to see your thoughts on them during the taste test 😄 You guys have a much larger range in the US, because I'd been interested in trying the Kettlez range 🤔Especially since I prefere crisps/chips over tortilla chips 😅

[@jem5252]

I would not want them to try it. A radio station in my area had someone try it and he ended up in the hospital. I’m not sure why people enjoy watching someone suffer with intense spice. I guess it’s just me but I wouldn’t want to watch that video. 🤷‍♀️

[@worldwrestlingdrafting5949]

Ain’t no way you said the fajita ones are better. Literally everyone agrees those things are disgusting

[@RiceCooker-ge2te]

I don’t think they’re necessarily disgusting, but for Takis, I don’t think they’re up there with Fuego, Blue Heat or Nitro

[@missyleng]

I never had the rakish before, are they rolled up potato chips? I not liking the colour they leave behind

[@missyleng]

Oh and another thing I like to eat one chip at a time dipping each one in mayo or some kind of ranch flavour

[@TheTakedownTwins]

The round titles should clarify what’s what. Like the first round being “tortilla chips” means they are corn tortilla chips and the second round being “potato chips” means they’re potato chips etc. 🙂

[@katrinagelinas4869]

I honestly didn’t know takis had so many products

Nic Nac's against takis hot nuts. hmm idea? We do have a spicy Version, BBQ and Original.

Love us some double crunch nuts apparently! If we can get our hands on all the flavors of Nic Nac’s that would be quite the time 🙂

[@123Rockchild]

Okay, I have never heard of this item….so I had to google it. Takis is a Mexican brand of rolled corn tortilla chip snack. They are known for their spicyness. Okay, now I can watch the rest of the video! 😁

[@claire778]

I LOVE heat and spice, along with a good, mega-thicc crunch so I'd probably be well down with Takis. But to look at...trying to see thise things as edible is difficult. They look terrifying!

[@farah_lynn]

How do these compare to Hot Cheetos? Jalapeño Cheetos or Andy Capps Hot Fries were always my go to spicy snack
