    Dispute over the invention of Flamin' Hot Cheetos

    Richard Montañez became publicly associated with the claim that he invented or helped originate Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Frito-Lay later said its records attributed development to a broader team and did not confirm Montañez's version. The dispute generated extensive media coverage and continued through the release of a film based on his account.
