The Hotty Takis By Giana Purvis
A long, long time ago on a hot summer day, I was walking to the corner store with my grandma. She told me to pick a snack. Then I saw a purple bag that I have never seen before. I was curious, so I picked it up. The name was Takis. I could not wait until I got home to eat it. Good thing I lived very close; my grandma and I walked into the building. I ran up the stairs so excited. I finally got in the house, ran into my bedroom, took off my shoes, and turned on my lights. I got my water just in case my mouth would get on fire. I opened the bag and the smell just busted out. I wished I could just go back in time and smell it again. This memory is the first time I ever had Takis. Then I picked one up and ate it. I ran to the kitchen and took an ice cube, and put it in my mouth. It was flaming hot. It was so worth it, though. I went back to my room and ate more and more, then years later, I finally got used to the heat. Takis look like a stick of flavor, like a hotty Taki. It smells like a fresh new Sharpie. The best part is it tastes like a hot, flaming lemon, and a hot pepper. The texture is like a hard stick when you crunch into it, then the crumb just melts onto my tongue. After I ate Takis, I decided to research it, and found out that Takis are said to have been invented by someone named Morgan Sanchez, although the spicy snack was invented in Mexico in 1999, and introduced to American audiences in 2006. And I also found out that my favorite Taki flavor is Nitro. I say this because I love cucumbers, and my favorite food with my snack is like a spicy cucumber.
