I was just watching a movie and they said "open sesame" and i just started wondering how that phrase originated. I mean, to me, the word "open" is obvious. The word "sesame", to me, is a type of seasoning. So that's where I got confused. It sounds to me like someone needed to think of some sort of password, so, being a big fan of seasonings (or perhaps food in general), they decided to go with "Open Sesame". That's just my theory. I want to hear the truth behind it, or else just other theories behind it. Thanks.
