Naturally, because he is just an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/one-year-bidens-presidency-hispanic-voters-now-evenly-divided-parties\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hispanic<\/a> janitor, his bosses dismiss him as an unimportant annoyance. But eventually, he prevails and the new flavor becomes a massive hit that makes Frito-Lay billions.<\/p>\n<p>It would really be a wonderful tale of an underdog rising to the top, except for one little problem.<\/p>\n<p>There is no evidence whatever that the real-life \u201cjanitor,\u201d Richard Montanez, was the \u201ctrue story\u201d creator of the Flamin\u2019 Hot recipe.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, no less an authoritative source than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/story\/2021-05-16\/flamin-hot-cheetos-richard-montanez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles Times<\/a> published a story that concluded that the claims Montanez has made for years are simply not true \u2014 or, at least, that there is no evidence to prove his claims.<\/p>\n<p>Montanez has spent years on the public-speaking circuit, the Times said, charging between $10,000 and $50,000 to tell his engrossing tale of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-shows-flamin-hot-film-to-celebrate-hispanics-theres-just-one-major-problem\/\" title=\"Biden Screens 'Flamin' Hot' Movie for Hispanic Celebration - But There's a Catch\">plucky outsider outsmarting corporate masters<\/a> and helping his company launch an iconic snack brand.<\/p>\n<p>But Frito-Lay couldn\u2019t find any records at all that give any hint that the former janitor had a hand in the snack brand. It\u2019s all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-amazon-fires-olive-garden-lies-week-fake-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-covid-case-surges-more-fake-news\/\" title=\"Are COVID Case Surges More Fake News?\">fake news<\/a><\/a>, they said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of our records show that Richard was involved in any capacity in the Flamin\u2019 Hot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/young-n-y-conservatives-protest-market-manipulation\/\" title=\"Young N.Y. conservatives protest market manipulation\">test market<\/a>,\u201d Frito-Lay wrote in a statement to the Times, in response to questions about an internal investigation whose existence had not been previously disclosed. \u201cWe have interviewed multiple personnel who were involved in the test market, and all of them indicate that Richard was not involved in any capacity in the test market,\u201d Frito-Lay told the L.A. Times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t celebrate Richard,\u201d the statement continued, \u201cbut the facts do not support the urban legend,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<p>Further, Montanez wasn\u2019t just a janitor. He started as a plant worker and rose to the level of marketing director. So, he wasn\u2019t just an ignored, everyman. He had a real career path that the company did not hinder.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Times, the flavor was actually created in 1989 by Frito-Lay\u2019s food professionals led by an employee named Lynne Greenfeld, but Montanez didn\u2019t start staking his claim to its invention until the year 2000. And, likely fearing the label of being racist, Frito-Lay decided not to challenge him.<\/p>\n<p>Greenfield contacted Frito-Lay and asked them why they were allowing Montanez to take credit for the work her team did. And after an investigation, the company agreed with Greenfield. But they didn\u2019t want to get too proactive in the situation, telling the Times, \u201cWe value Richard\u2019s many contributions to our company, especially his insights into Hispanic consumers, but we do not credit the creation of Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos or any Flamin\u2019 Hot products to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actual creator of the flavor has been disappointed in the company\u2019s lack of action.<\/p>\n<p>Greenfeld said, \u201cIt is disappointing that 20 years later, someone who played no role in this project would begin to claim our experience as his own and then personally profit from it,\u201d the paper reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Times has much more on the story, of course, but for our purposes, it must be noted that it is a shame that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tara-reade-gives-explosive-interview-carlson-describes-detail-sick-acts-biden-allegedly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a> is using this fake-news movie to promote an untrue story of Hispanics being disparaged and discriminated against. And it also shows the left\u2019s pecking order. Biden is raising up a Hispanic man over an Anglo woman. Clearly, Hispanics trump Anglo women in Joe Biden\u2019s estimation.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all just another example of how liberals use race and heritage as a wedge issue to separate Americans and keep us all fighting each other.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-shows-flamin-hot-film-celebrate-hispanics-just-one-major-problem\/\">Biden Shows &#8216;Flamin&#8217; Hot&#8217; Film to Celebrate Hispanics &#8211; There&#8217;s Just One Major Problem<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creepy Joe Biden is once again pandering without facts or truth, this time cozying up to the Hispanic community by praising the movie &#8220;Flamin&#8217; Hot.&#8221; However, there&#8217;s a small issue.
