and you're playing with fire. But spicy? Yeah. See, that's how I got here. To this moment. Me, the most uneducated,
successful vato you'll ever meet. I served up my pride on a silver platter
more than once along the way. With my head held high,

breaking a sweat to make a dollar stretch. Until I got here. See, I'm the guy
who helped bring the world the most popular snack it's ever seen. Here you go, ma'am
