I'm creating an Independent soldier's uniform for DragonCon (part of the 76th Battalion effort) and I thought it would be fun to have a can of beans in my bag, just like Tracey does in the war flashback scene in "The Message." I was able to see the label of Tracey's can somewhat on the screen, but not well enough to really read it, so I decided to make my own label. I went to a local Asian market to find a can of Chinese beans so I could have some idea of what characters to use. To my surprise, I found the actual can of beans used in the show! They didn't alter it at all. See a side by side comparison here (bottom of page):

So, there you go, my contribution to all costume perfectionists out there. ;)

I realized I should have gotten two cans so I could open one up and actually try the beans. The next time I'm near the market I'll get one and post a report.
