> Around that time, Montañez began working on a line of products pitched specifically at the Latino market in the Los Angeles area: Sabrositas. Images that Montañez has posted to his Instagram account show that the Sabrositas line included Flamin’ Hot Popcorn, two types of Fritos — Flamin’ Hot and Lime and Chile Corn Chips — and a Doritos variety billed as buñuelito-style tortilla chips.
seems likely he was involved in different product lines with very similar names
- pessimizer 5y agoMeaning that he saw a product that was being marketed to black people and thought that with a few changes, variants could be successfully marketed to Hispanics. Those lines he came up with do not exist anymore, however, because I'm pretty sure Hispanic stores just import lime-chile brands from Mexico. They weren't an original idea, they're common.

- msrenee 5y agoThere's dorito products out there that are extremely similar to Takis. I don't know the timeline though.
- pseudalopex 5y agoIt isn't clear what he came up with. But they sell Flamin' Hot Popcorn and Fritos still. And Chile Lime Fritos in Mexico.
