The man who didn't invent Flamin' Hot Cheetos
It's an incredibly bold lie to just take a famous product, claim you invented it, and then go public with speeches and books about your success as an inventor. In a way, it's congruent to his philosophy as a motivational speaker - "take ownership". He did just that and it worked out great.<p>The whole thing actually reminds me of the time I invented the iPod. See, I'd always liked listening to music while I ran, but my darn "walkman" kept skipping. So I called up the CEO of the company I was a contract security worker at, and I said "Mr. Jobs, Mr. Jobs, have I got an idea for you!"
