Why are they called "Graduation Beans" ?? I think because my Aunt Marilyn made them for my Uncle Carl's high school graduation back in 19-whatever, and they've been called that ever since. Of course any time someone "graduates" from a school we serve them--and believe me, these beans make school worth taking!

Y'know, you can make your own "catsup" right? And your own barbecue sauce, right? And you can use real beans instead of canned beans, right? RIGHT? :)
