Takis has partnered with Asian Trader to give four readers the chance to win four cases of Takis Dragon Sweet Chilli (100g) and Takis Volcano (100g), worth £140 RRP each.


Dragon Sweet Chilli is the brand’s newest flavour to hit the market. Marked as ‘Hot’ on the Takis Heat Meter, these hot and spicy corn chips start off sweet but finish with an intensely spicy kick. Volcano is intensely cheesy with a fiery kick and explode with a multitude of flavours in every dynamite bite. Each crisp and crunchy bite of these rolled tortilla chips is filled with a sensational spicy flavour that tingles the tastebuds.

When it comes to shopper attitudes to snacking, bold and strong flavour choices are dominating purchase decisions. Launched into the UK’s independent retail channel in August and driven by the Gen Z demand for intense flavours, Takis set fire to the aisles with a product range known for its uniquely shaped tortilla rolls that pack a powerful crunch and fiery flavours. The move into the convenience channel was marked with the launch of new PMP grab bags (available via Booker), growing Takis’ availability in the convenience channel – an area crucial to the snacking market.

Independent retailers can now win Takis’ newest flavour for the chance to put the product on shelf or offer in-store sampling to drive trial and purchase, enabling retailers to leverage the exciting revenue opportunity that spicy snacks offer.

'Solid Christmas' as shoppers splash out on premium lines

Household spending on take-home groceries hit a record high this Christmas at £460 on average, according to the latest data from Kantar. Overall take-home sales at the grocers rose by 2.1 per cent over the four weeks to 29 December compared with last year.

Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar, says, “It was a solid Christmas at the supermarkets with sales surpassing £13 billion during the four weeks of December for the first time ever, showing people were clearly in the mood to celebrate and spend.

"However, despite the festive cheer, grocery price inflation has ticked up to 3.7 per cent, its highest level since March 2024.

“In contrast to reports of disappointing footfall across the rest of the high street, it was a very different story in the world of grocery. The average household made nearly 17 separate shopping trips this December, delivering the busiest month for the retailers since the pre-lockdown rush in March 2020.
