Flamin' Hot Cheetos were invented by Richard Montañez, a former janitor at Frito-Lay. In the late 1980s, he envisioned a spicy version of the classic snack. After creating a recipe in his kitchen, he pitched the idea to the company's executives, leading to the launch of Flamin' Hot Cheetos, which became an iconic snack worldwide.
