Where does the term "cool beans" come from?

It is originally from Boston, when the baked beans that had just come out of the oven were cool enough to eat, the cook would announce, “Cool Beans.” It became more popular recently as a result of a Bush Beans commercial in the mid 80s, when the talking dog, Duke, said it in one of their commercials.

Cool Beans Origin

"Cool beans" is a curious phrase that uses nonsense to bring humor into a joyful exclamation. It originated in American pop culture during the late 1960s. Slang of this time is known to center around illogical phrasings of words, and "cool beans" is among the most durable lengthy late 60's era terms. It is used when referring to something with a positive connotation, for example, "That party was cool beans." Much like other hip slang words "cool beans" has faded with the times.

Um..... I got the saying from my Cousin oh I would say over 13 years ago. I think it is off a movie though I just can't remember. I know it was one made in the early 90's though
