Trader Joe’s has become a popular place to find a variety of snacks, from something sweet to salty. My social media feed has been blowing up with Trader Joe’s snacks and reviewers raving about how good they are. After seeing the videos all over my Instagram for months, I caved and took the trip to Trader Joe’s to see what the hype is all about. The first thing I tried, a very popular one, was the rolled corn tortilla chips in chili and lime. This snack was all over social media and is a copycat of Takis, but a better, healthier version. I was skeptical at first because Takis are not my favorite, but these are definitely worth checking out. They have a similar crunch and are a little less spicy than Takis, but better. The chili and lime flavors pair well, making it impossible not to eat the whole bag. The cost is also what sold me on it. $2.99 for a decent-sized bag, while Takis are around $4 for a similarly sized bag.
