> he might actually believe his own story now
I was wondering this but this section from the article is fairly damning
> One photograph, posted to Instagram in October 2019 but now deleted, shows four pieces of lined notebook paper, labeled “mild,” “reg,” “hot” and “extra hot,” with Cheetos piled on top of each. At the bottom of one, Montañez signed his name and wrote the date “1988.”
> In another post, now deleted, he wrote that he worked on the Doritos Salsa Rio flavor in 1998 — a product that first hit test markets in 1987, according to Advertising Age articles from that year.
He literally fabricated evidence, writing the date 1988 when we know at this point it's impossible. And then deleted the posts. Like someone else said, there's definitely something inspirational about his rags to riches story, but seeing this I can't help but lose respect for him.
