About Barcel
Barcel is Grupo Bimbo's salty snack business in Mexico, whose Takis rolled tortilla chips became a significant brand in the United States as well, driven largely by social media rather than conventional advertising. Takis are extremely acidic and intensely spiced, and videos of people attempting to eat large quantities of them have been a recurring internet format.
