> According to his account, when a Cheetos machine broke down, Montañez took home a batch of unflavored snacks and seasoned them with spices reminiscent of Mexican street corn.[4][3] He pitched this idea to then-CEO Roger Enrico over the phone and was invited to deliver an in-person presentation, which he prepared for by researching marketing at the public library.[4][3] He presented the product as appealing to the growing Latino market, and provided samples in plastic bags that he had hand-decorated and sealed. It was soft-launched six months later to a test market in Los Angeles, and approved for national release in 1992.[5] Newsweek reported that the flavor, since expanded to a full product line, "rejuvenated the brand" and garnered billions in revenue.[4]

> In 2021, a Los Angeles Times article disputed Montañez's claim, reporting that based on an internal investigation at Frito-Lay, he was not involved in creating this product line. A spokesperson for Frito-Lay stated, "we value Richard's many contributions to our company, especially his insights into Hispanic consumers, but we do not credit the creation of Flamin' Hot Cheetos or any Flamin' Hot products to him." According to the article, however, Montañez did in fact rise from a floor-level position to a marketing executive at Frito-Lay, and he was involved in pitching new products.[1]

No news here.

Well, of course you would think that if you don't get it.

Don't worry... I get your joke even if nobody else does.

I think the first part has already been accomplished.

Popcorn, please. A large.

Its hard to write jokes that depend on the pronunciation of homonyms, isn't it?

That joke made me drool.

Got one on order already, huh?

That is quite literally where the word "breakfast" came from.

Golf is kind of like that, too though.

Yeah, when I hear people talk about "raising the bar", I always wonder if they've ever heard of limbo.

Cool. Thanks.

Not sure I'd even joke about that.

That settles it, then!

Bleach? Wouldn't it be ammonia? Ammonia is similar to pee but I didn't think that chlorine bleach would be.

I once did some oil field work there a long time ago in like 110 degree weather.

Some will probably comment in appreciation that "it looks almost like a photograph!". Others, "it looks almost like a painting!".

Of course, they would both be right. Gorgeous any way you look at it!

Correct. But what has that got to do with the subject at hand? I guess I'm missing your point.
