>Richard Montanez has been credited with inventing Hot Cheetos as a janitor at a Frito Lay factory in 1990
>He claims he showed his invention to the CEO and 100 other Frito Lay honchos
>After a decade of keeping quiet, he starts repeating the story in the 2000s
>Media eats up the tale
>Gets a fucking book deal
>Speaks at Harvard and business events about his legendary creation, earning $10,000 to $50,000 per speech
>Gets a fucking movie deal
>Now the LA Times has revealed Montanez made the whole story up, and the snack was actually invented by a junior executive
