Before we proceed, these are Takis.

There is a good chance this is your introduction to the snack. As a connoisseur of the crunchy and unhealthy, even my knowledge of them is minuscule, having only once in my life lived near a hole-in-the-wall grocer that stocked these popular Mexican snacks. If you've been a casual participant of the Internet over the past 72 hours, however, there is a decent chance that you've heard the word "Takis" said repeatedly. By children. Talented, snack-loving children.
