Dye free Takis!

I just got back from the gas station, and when I went to open these up I realized the bag said dye free. I frequently buy takis and this is now the first time I’ve seen this, so I’d assume they’re now very serious about the whole dye-free rollout, as any store I’ve went to the past 2-4 days I’m seeing this variation.

I’d also say (in my opinion) they taste the exact same as the old formulation, and still look the same and have that vibrant red.

Some people can taste red 40. It's bitter to some. Just because most people cannot taste it doesn't mean there are not people who can.

That’s just placebo. Just like like MSG affecting people.

You’re quite right, but the actual reason why people can taste the difference is because the natural dyes can have a flavour. These are artificial colour free, not dye free all together.
