Takis was first released in Mexico back in 1999 and quickly moved to the US market in 2004.
Earlier this year, Takis also launched its Intense Nacho flavor, the first non-spicy salty snack from the brand.
Customers could grab the new flavor in the original Taki style, the rolled tortilla chip, waves, or pop.
Each is available in different sizes between 2.5 ounces and 9.9 ounces in local stores at a suggested retail price of $2.19 and up to $4.49.
Customers can also grab the following favorites: Blue Heat, Crunchy Fajitas, Guacamole, Nitro, and more.
IN THE NEWS
Barcel USA, the brand behind Takis, confirmed that a fan-favorite flavor has been discontinued - sort of.
The Zombie Takis is a habanero and cucumber-flavored chip rolled up in its classic shape.
Takis customers tweeted that they were disappointed about being unable to find them in stores.
"My fav snacks always getting discontinued, I'm still hurt about zombie Takis," the fan said.
Takis quickly replied, confirming that while they are discontinued, they will be back.
"Hey!!! zombie only haunts shelves from August until Halloween… def not discontinued," Takis replied.
Chip eaters are also begging for the return of southern-inspired flavor years after Lay’s discontinued them.
Plus, a nostalgic '90s drink has been missing from shelves.
