According to Dean's reporting, the Flamin' Hot Cheetos line was invented by a team of Frito-Lay corporate employees in 1989 in the company's headquarter's in Plano, Texas. Lynne Greenfeld, a junior employee, was in charge of developing the brand, and says she coined the “Flamin' Hot” name.

Flamin' Hot Cheetos and Lays rolled out across the country by early 1992 and would slowly grow to become a cult hit.
