"Intellectual Property" lawyers might demand that someone else write that. You know, like when you read some corporate butt kissing article and everything has a "TM" or (R) or (C) on it, and brands are consistently used as adjectives. Big Mac(TM) brand ground beef patty sandwiches....

As a Gen-X, I only heard about Takis a couple of years ago and only because I game. My kids knew about them for far longer. That edit was for me and older.

  As a millennial who makes a lot of convenience store runs, I've never seen anyone of my generation or older with Takis. It's definitely zoomer food. The damned kids, what, with their spicy corn snacks and loud rock music on the music television channel. Back in my day, we only had Doritos, and we thought we were lucky just to have that.

I have never heard of Takis and I assume most people outside of the US haven't either

  They’ve only recently started commercializing them in Spain as far as I’m aware, so a gentle reminder for people like me was perfectly in order too. Hats off if AI can write with such a fine attention to detail.

  They're insanely popular in hispanic communities so over the last 5+ years they've slowly climbed out of Mercadonas/Texas to other places and more general stores like 711. Like we started getting them in CO a few years ago and I moved here from TX where they're everywhere. Same with Pepino Limon Gatorade, which I think is absolutely disgusting but it flies off the shelves with hispanic groups. https://www.maxim.com/entertainment/cult-limon-pepino-gatorade/#:~:text=Gatorade%20put%20out%20Limon%20Pepino,in%20a%20massive%20plastic%20jug https://www.maxim.com/entertainment/cult-limon-pepino-gatora....

I've never heard of this brand, so saying "corn snacks" helps clarify what they are.

This is called having an editor, who takes a pass through and says "I don't think everyone knows what Takis are, let's change the language to be more accessible"
