Transcript

Yes, these. I feel bad cuz I I have the most energy for this, but I love Takis. My mouth is already watering so much. A Taki is basically just a tortilla chip. And they're wrapped like this. It's like a little joint of flavor. It's kid-friendly. Don't tell them it looks like a joint. Don't give it to your kid and be like, "This looks like a joint." As soon as I eat this, my mouth is going to be an ocean. So, here we go. God, they're so good. This is a perfect snack. The crunch is always good. I never run across a soggy Taki. Soggy Taki. It is spicy, salty, acidic. It's got the umami. It has everything. One could argue that this is just as good as a perfectly balanced bowl of tom kagai. And the reason why I bring up Tom Kagay is because it's a soup that's supposed to be highly balanced. It's sweet, it's salty, it's spicy, and well, sour at the same time. It has all of those elements. That is the Taki. A culinarian had to have made this.
