A Question about BetterMost Beans
chefjudy:
ok this is probably a really stupid question, but I have never seen it addressed anywhere - is/was there a brand name called BetterMost back in the 60's -Idon't remember it but maybe it was indigenous to Wyoming?

No. BetterMost was invented by Ang Lee and is one of the few things that is not trademarked or secured by the studio. That's one of the reasons this site is called BetterMost - I know I won't get a cease and desist letter from Hollywood lawyers. :)
Jeff Wrangler:
OK, I have a similar question. Does anybody know whether "Old Rose" is or was a real brand of whiskey?
I have been told by a reliable source that "Old Rose" is an allusion to Titanic, but I'm still wondering whether it's a real brand. If it is, it isn't sold in the liquor stores in Pennsylvania (liquor is a state monopoly here).

Phillip, Thank you for that tidbit. Makes me happy. When I'm telling stories for the millionth time to my grandchildren, maybe this will be one of them.
"Oh God, Grandma's telling a Brokeback Mountain story again."
"Which one, about seeing Jake -- what's his name? -- or Better Most Beans?"
"Started with one, ended with the other."

That's interesting because the other day when I was trying to get here I keyed in http://www.bettermost.com and got a site in Chinese. The only English on it is

Catheters, eh? Seems like an Ang Lee in-joke.
