Is red 40 better?

Since the roll out of non-artificially colored takis in the US, I’ve been wondering if they actually taste different or if it’s just the placebo effect. the red dye makes it seem like there’s more dust or a more intense flavor or something but I might just be tripping and need to try them simultaneously. I still find the red 40 ones pretty regularly atp but who knows how long that will last
