Oh no here's another story from the Nerfherder. 
Beano is the discovery of Alan Kligerman, creator of Lact-Aid.
I worked for Alan as a label-sticker/bottler, in Atlantic City when Lact-Aid was sold mail-order only from a 2nd story walk-up office down the street from Atlantic City High School. I helped bottle the yeasty-smelling goo when he was switching over from powders to liquid drops. I also stuck the little blue and white labels on the teeny bottles. It was my first Real Paycheck Job, and you know what?
If I'd kept on with him right out of high school, I'd be filthy rich. We all know that Lact-Aid is everywhere, Alan is Twice-Filthy Rich these days, and he doesn't even worry about manufacturing - hasn't in decades. It's all licensing. Wheee!
