To correct this video, the current Frito Lay executives were asked about the story and they were not able to clearly deny the janitor story. They actually came and said that the guy claiming to be a janitor was in fact crucial to the development of hot Cheetos but did not go far enough to say that he created it. They also confirmed he was a janitor who eventually moved up the company. To say this story is a scam based off the Los Angeles time is funny, when there has been numerous other stories saying the opposite. Even so management at Frito lags have said their is truth to it.
They actually never confirmed it. They just kinda danced around the idea of him maybe having had some part in the process. There’s not much evidence either way, but there’s less evidence that he made it.
I work at Frito lay the oldest plant they have in Orlando FL, they tell you this story when you're in training. Also it was at my plant if I remember correctly. Funny thing is today I'm cleaning the Cheetos processing area.
@@christopherleslie4593 not hurt at all, if it was another race i care less i would still believe it, big corporation executives hate when they hear someone below them strived and accomplished
Let’s be real when someone create an idea most of the time that person isn’t going to get the credit for it. Especially when multi-million dollar companies are involved.
I would believe the janitor if his story lined up with facts. Just the simple fact his dates are off and Enrico wasn’t the ceo until 91 and Cheetos were already out in 89/90
LA Times and Gustavo Arellano corrected the story. This is why people that have no business "reporting" should just keep posting videos about food and not biographies/history.
@@SonyInterviewsIt was. PepsiCo said the FritosLay man the LA Times interviewed said things that were misconstrued. They've also apologized to Richard since.
@@BrotherMax6 and u think pepsi co wouldnt have done anything about it? I'm sure they'd gladly try to do some kind of lawsuit and maybe even get some more money out of it. Idk y the big deal is over who invented these spicy chips. You believed 'facts' from some random people u never heard about but not Pepsico?
I’m proud to be brown knowing somebody from my “hood” excelled. I’m proud of him and many like him, like her, like us who rose above the madness of life and did so for the love of familia, familia which are the *MOST* precious treasures in life!!!! It makes complete sense for someone who grew up eating the way we do, with the flavors we are used to and appreciate to come up with this recipe, we had it all along and If you grew up and be blessed enough to experience life humbly like this too, you might comprehend. #brownpride #porvida ✊🏽
I’m Mexican and I completely agree with you, I don’t however agree with Richard because it just isn’t true what he is saying and as a Mexican myself, I hate liars.
Been adding hot Cheetos to my in n out burger for years now 🔥 All I can say is whenever I go get in n out now, i won’t eat it with out some hot Cheetos . It’s really a game changer . Glad to see other people trying it out cuz everytime I mention it to friends or family . They look at me like I’m crazy 😂
It’s amazing how many haters they are when even the company has admitted that yes he was a part of it yet they don’t criticize other movies that are based off of true stories that are not completely factual, so is it just cause we’re Latinos stupid people?
The company said that Richard was not involved in the creation of hot Cheetos, he was however involved in flamin hot popcorn and sabrositas (a small line they did in the LA area.) also his dates and people don’t add up. Enrico wasn’t a ceo until 1991 and the snack was already out by then. It doesn’t take racism or to against Mexicans to realize Richard is either lying for his own benefit or 2 since he did create flamin hot popcorn which is less popular and came after hot Cheetos, he has tried to take the credit for the flamin hot line. I’m Mexican but this dude is off and I venture to say he’s lying through his teeth.
I always like having Flamin Hot or other Spicy chips under the burger patties I make at home or if I happen to buy from out because the crunch and flavor it adds is something different
Usually anything an employee comes up with automatically becomes the property of that company. For example, the inventor of the "Gain" laundry detergent scent got nothing.
Working in TV, I was pinning a mic to the CEO of Frito Lay for a live shot. I said four words, "Buttery Cinnamon Sugar Doritos." Too bad he didn't take that idea and run with it!
I knew there was something fishy while watching the movie, especially when he said the ingredients were natural chiles. It’s never been anything but what it is now. Fraud!
😂 they didn't have back up to defend story back then, but years later, the writers doing the articles who were probably in diapers at the time they were found, yet years later magically found the real truth 😂 🤔
people will beleive the media more then the truth.How does a man become a janitor or a plant worker go from a plant worker or janitor work his way up to director of marketing.??????
The same way I became a regional manager for a company in AZ from only being a night time office cleaner. Takes years, moving up through the corporate latter.
Pretty much every story of somebody “inventing” some kind of food is false, especially if the story states that it was an accident. The Bellisimos didn’t “invent” Buffalo wings, Ignacio Anaya didn’t “invent” nachos (the basic idea is reflected in chilaquiles which have been around forever) and potato chips sure as hell were not “invented” by a spiteful chef.
@@luciilaolmfao 😂 the lady who started the team that invented them in Texas where frito lay is from already spoke herself. Also there’s zero chiles or spices in hot Cheetos it’s all chemicals. This fool couldn’t even copy the taste if he tried 😂😂
@@luciilaoyou know this guy has no evidence that he made it right? And he also said he can’t recreate the formula? I think you may just be mad a latino didn’t make it
O love crunchy cheese Cheetos and hot Cheetos mixed 😅 and I eat it with everything literally burgers 🍔 pizza 🍕 hot dog , salad 🥗, soups, spaghetti , rice with stew, fried rice, tamales omg with subs 🥖 🥓 🍳 🍅 🥗 🥖👌😋taste so good, lasagna, Mediterranean food, dumplings , shrimps, rotisserie chicken, pork roast , guacamole , tuna with everything! Lol I’m addicted omg with fresh burrata cheese taste so good or Peruvian ceviche 👌
Even though what u said is true, I don't buy that a group of execs came up with the idea for a flaming hot cheeto 😂. Iykyk Mexicans been putting hot sauce on their chips since I was born, and all the hot chips snacks that America has today had already been on the shelves in Mexico for decades.
Goat snack? It’s not the goat snack unless you’re dipping flaming hot Cheetos in cream cheese. Gotta scoop the heck out of it dude. Try it and thank me later.
For some reason everything taste good with flaming hot cheetos. I use to put them inside my sandwich at school all the time I guess that's why I got ulcers now.
@rockybalboa6981 ok but we created tacos ,burritos, tortas, enchiladas, manudo, corn with chilli, every mexican dish use a spice of chilli....Mexicans love chilli species your in denial
@@mikec169 India, Sri Lanka, Korea, China, Ethiopia etc all use spice in many of their dishes. Mexicans were created like 500 years ago. Many older cultures have been using spices for thousands of years. Also, in America every single restaurant sells spicy food. You can even get a spicy burger at any fast food place. I understand Mexicans are extremely prideful people and they want to be known as the only culture that needs spicy food. But you’re not.
America in 2023. Making up fairytales, praising scam artists (Theranos, we work, Nikola), and presenting them all as heroes and people to look up to and admire.
Sometimes I feel like I just wanna go back to my old ways You're telling me I'm silly, it's no fun in the old days I'm such a romantic, I never remember how things really happen I guess you're attractive or something Live in the moment, that's what they tell me But what ever happened to when you would hold me And hold me, and hold me Girlfriend or girl that's a friend? It's easy just to pretend That we don't have something real, it's just how we feel We feel Oh, it's just how we feel How we feel I'm feeling something right I'm feeling something right I'm feeling something right I'm feeling something right I'm feeling something right I'm feeling something right I wanna be the one you think about at night And I wanna be the one that you would put up a fight for You know that I adore, that even when you're bored I'd buy you anything and everything I can't afford
i remember when flaming hot cheetos came out in the early 90s. they were first marketed to mexicans during the first trial run. at that time, there was no other group in the US that would eat there snacks with hot sauce or hot spices (even our candy & alcolic drinks were/are spicy) & drowning our chips/snacks with hot sauce & lemon juice has been a staple in our diet for centuries. richard is either the creator or at least an adviser to flaming hot cheetos. he would not have climbed up the corporate ladder by just working on the factory floor, he would have needed great ideas for the company to move as high as he did. to make a mexican snack (flaming hot) their had to be some sort of mexican input especially in those times.
