Sesame Trivia

So I find it interesting to know how company’s choose their name. My 91 year old mother came up with the idea at dinner. We have a bottle of sesame oil on the table and she said, “How about Sesame Realty?” and I stared blankly at her and asked, “Why sesame?” and she replied, like “duh”, “You open doors for people, Open Sesame!”
