"I opened my arms and I said, ‘This much market share!’"
Brilliant answer for a stupid question that was probably meant to put him down.
> Frito-Lay began testing Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in small Latino markets in East Los Angeles. If it performed well, the company would move forward with the product; if it didn’t, they’d scratch it
So Montañez assembled a small team of family members and friends, went to the test markets, and bought every bag of Hot Cheetos he could find.
Also brilliant, as such a "test" would certainly fail due to no marketing, likely intentional by the exec's and politics.
