Something I would recommend eating are Takis. When you walk through a bodega; a corner store the first thing that catches your eye are the small purple bags all bunched up together. I wonder how could something so small be so spicy? Looking at the fire image on it you can already imagine how hot your mouth is going to be. It’s usually about 2 dollars for a medium bag. It’s great because one It’s affordable and two it’s mouthwatering good. I like to eat my Takis by opening it from the seams. I like to do this because I can see everything in the bag and reach for the spiciest ones. When I look into the bag my mouth starts to water seeing all the red chili spice on it. 

I eat Takis when i’m in a lazy mood because the heat always makes me feel alive. I always put on a movie so I can eat and watch at the same time. However, the thing that I love most about eating Takis is that I pay more attention to eating the Takis and not the movie. I savor all the flavor by licking each individual one. It’s so spicy that it stains your fingers. This is probably not a good sign because if it stains your hands imagine what it does to your stomach but with Takis it’s so good that you can’t just stop eating them. 

Takis were originally created in Mexico by a man named Morgan Sanchez and honestly all I can say is he has made a girl in Midtown Manhattan very happy. It’s one of the best things I can eat as a snack, but if i’m being honest I was once a Taki hater. I was obsessed with Hot Cheetos. I would eat a bag everyday. I would always argue that Hot Cheetos were better and that Takis sucks and look at me now. One day when I finished all of my Hot Cheetos I ate some of my sister’s Takis and boy did I feel the heat. Ever since then I have been in love with Takis. I think what I love about Takis is that they taste so good flavor wise, but they also are really spicy after you’ve had a lot and I really love spicy things and everyone who knows me knows that. When my mom comes home from her errands she always brings me a bag and whenever I say I want a snack everyone automatically says Takis. I guess it’s just become a part of who I am. It’s one of my favorite things. It makes me so happy. It’s the little things in my life like a bag of Takis that I cherish so much because it brings good feelings and good memories. Even if this addiction ends up going away  when I’m older it’ll be something i’ll always remember. So I say try Takis and tell me that I’m right but make sure you have a cup of water on hand.
