This might be the worst day of my entire life. Yesterday I saw Takis while in the store and had a really big craving for them, so I bought them. Without thinking I was munching on them, and realized I ate the whole party sized bag of them.
Immediately I went online to look at ways to counteract the spice bomb I just let into my body. I drank 2 cups of milk, 4 cups of water, a banana and potatoes just like it said for me to do. I thought I was okay. I felt a little bloated but other than that I was completely fine.
The next day, everything goes as normal. I feel great, I’m nervous for this band gig I have because it’s in a Canada Day parade. It also doesn’t help that there are no washrooms in sight because it’s mostly throigh residential area. As soon as we start moving, it hits me like a tank. Suddenly my stomach felt like it was about to explode, but I was the drummer so I couldn’t really get off. We were crammed on our float because there were alot of us, so I know both the people beside me could absolutely smell and maybe even hear me ripping it. My band director even turned around and asked if I was okay because my face was very red. I said I was fine, but I really wasn’t. It doesn’t help that my girlfriend was on the float, and the two beside me definitely went and told the rest of the band about it.
I’m now writing this on the toilet, getting that horrible snack out of my body. I am never touching Takis again. Couldn’t even enjoy my gig because I was clenching the whole time.
TL;DR: Eating a lot of spicy food that you can’t handle is NOT a good idea before an important gig, you might just make your bandmates despise you.

I farted, just reading your post.
At least it was just gas and didn’t have a blowout while you were trapped on the float! Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦
I seriously thought this was going to somehow be much worse.
Calling a party sized bag of Takis a “Snack” is insane lol… It’s 3,750 calories and 7x your recommended daily salt intake.
That’s rough.
I played a gig about three weeks back on a saturday. I woke up that morning sick but figured I’d manage it until it was time to play since I’ve played sick before. I got everything unloaded and set up for the show and the band went to get food about an hour and a half before sound check. I decided to eat since I hadn’t eaten all day due to my appetite being shitty. We get back to the stage and it’s time to start sound check and all of the sudden I start gagging. A little one, then bigger and then full on dry heaves. I’m a drummer also and so I’m just sitting on my throne turning my head away so the crowd can’t see me gag. I realize I cannot play even a single song feeling like this and I get bailed out by the fact that there was this sliding glass door at the back of the stage that goes to a small alley behind the bar. It was an outdoor gig and luckily a small casual crowd so I rush tf outta there to the alley and blow chunks in a corner against the wall until my nausea is gone. I collect myself and go back and have a seat behind my kit and start the gig.
I was paranoid the whole show because I could still smell the puke despite not having any on me or anything. So I assumed the whole band could too. Turns out they couldn’t and nobody knew what happened unless I told them.
Eating Takis is basically saying you don’t care about your future, specifically the next 24 hours, but in general as well. They’re the official snack of nihilism.
This reminds me of the time I experienced my first hangover the same day I had a Homecoming parade and football game (I was in the marching band). Have sworn off Fireball ever since.
They sell snack sized bags of takis. You don’t have to swear then off. Just coordinate better. Save them for the Saturday night when you know you’ll be alone on sunday to deal with the after math or whatever works for you.
“TIFU by eating a party sized bag of takis
before an important gig“There is never a time when this is not a TIFU
The milk probably made it worse lol
