TIL that the movie "Flamin' Hot" is not based on a true story; the LA Times investigated the origin of Flamin' Hot and it does not match up with what Richard Montanez claims he did
Richard Montañez has for years told a story of how he dreamed up Flamin’ Hot Cheetos while working as a Frito-Lay janitor. The archival record, former employees and Frito-Lay itself say otherwise.
