Fuego vs Blue Heat: run a blind taste test
The most common Takis challenge on video is a head-to-head. To run your own:
- Pour a handful of Fuego and a handful of Blue Heat into two unmarked bowls.
- Taste one chip from each, with a sip of water in between.
- Guess which is which, and which is hotter.
- Fuego has more salt, per The Takeout's test, so the saltier bowl is probably Fuego.
Do it safely
- Takis dust stains fingers and stings eyes: wash your hands before touching your face.
- Keep milk nearby for anyone who isn't used to spicy food.
The chips
Takis Fuego Rolled Tortilla Chips
Hot chili pepper and lime. Wikipedia names it the spiciest of all Takis varieties and the most popular one.
Takis Blue Heat Rolled Tortilla Chips
The blue-dusted version, which Takis markets as its most intense: "Some legends say that blue flames burn the hottest of all." The Takeout found it less salty than Fuego, which makes the chili and lime taste sharper.
