Aldi first in UK to launch new Takis Dragon Sweet Chilli crisps

The crisps, known for their signature rolled shape and punchy flavour, have become a viral sensation recently with the hashtag Takis receiving more than 8 billion views on TikTok.

Social media went into meltdown last September when Aldi announced the arrival of the viral TikTok snack in its stores.

And now the supermarket chain has become the first supermarket to launch the brand new Dragon Sweet Chilli flavour of Takis crisps.

Many of you have been asking us if Takis Dragon Sweet Chili is made by actual Dragons. ​

What a foolish question. ​

Of course it is.

The new Takis crisps will be available in Aldi stores from this month (April) along with the Volcano flavour.

When will new Dragon Sweet Chilli Takis crisps be available in Aldi?

The brand-new Dragon Sweet Chilli and Volcano Takis crisps were launched in Aldi stores across the UK as part of its Specialbuys range on Sunday (April 28), so are available now.
