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..
Domestication later took place in the Andes and in Mesoamerica, independently. The main importance to the original location of beans is the wild adaptability of the original plant, which allowed it to move into a wide variety of climatic regimes, from the lowland tropics of Mesoamerica into the Andean highlands.
