Anecdotes
Richard Montañez's claim of inventing Flamin' Hot Cheetos has been disputed. According to a Los Angeles Times report, Flamin' Hot Cheetos were invented by a team of food professionals led by Lynne Greenfeld in Frito-Lay's headquarters in Plano, Texas, to compete with spicy snacks sold in inner-city mini-marts in the Midwest. Frito-Lay told the Times, "None of our records show that Richard was involved in any capacity in the Flamin' Hot test market", but also stated, "Different work streams tackling the same product without interacting occasionally occurred in the past when divisions operated independently". Roger Enrico also did not become the CEO of Frito-Lay until 1991, after the product and brand had been developed. Enrico's secretary said that Montañez's phone call with Enrico took place in 1993 to pitch Flamin' Hot Popcorn, two years after Flamin' Hot Cheetos were introduced. Frito-Lay did confirm that Montañez pitched several successful snacks developed for Latino customers while working as a machine operator.

Inauthentic feel-good fabrication

I needed to watch a feel-good, and it does its job as well as could be expected. Unfortunately, what I only discovered afterwards was that although the movie aspires to be a true story of going from being the underdog to the top, the entire thing is a fabrication, as documented by The Los Angeles Times. Montañes has publicly changed important details of the story over his lifetime, and even PepsiCo itself disputes that he had anything to do with Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Most importantly, Enrico was not even with the company at the time this happened, and Montañes was actually promoted to a machinist shortly after starting as a janitor.
