Browns LB Sione Takitaki Announces Partnership With Takis Chips
SALT LAKE CITY: Linebacker Sione Takitaki, a former BYU Cougar and current member of the Cleveland Browns, felt that the brand partnership was a perfect fit for his last name.
Takis brand and Sione Takitaki partner
2018 saw DJ Snake release the song “Taki Taki,” which was released six months before Takitaki joined the NFL. I felt like I had lost out on something after the linebacker and I were unable to come to an official partnership.
Over five years later, Takis and their renowned rolled tortilla chips have helped to make up for some of that.
Takitaki and his spouse, Alyssa, revealed their collaboration with the snack company via a string of social media updates.
It makes sense that Takis chips would be the ideal snack for Takitakis, after all.
The NFL linebacker posted on Instagram, calling Takis “The Takitakis’ Takis.”
