Mexican snacking runs on lime, salt, chamoy, tamarind and chile. Two companies dominate. Sabritas began in Mexico City in 1943 and joined PepsiCo in 1966. Barcel, Grupo Bimbo’s snack arm, began in 1977 and makes Chip’s potato chips and Takis. Takis were invented in 1999, and the purple-bag Fuego arrived in 2006. Below are seven Amazon.com listings, all already featured on our site: four on the Mexico page and three in our spicy chips buying guide. We don’t quote prices, because they change often.
