Carol Leifer has dabbled in different departments of the entertainment industry. In addition to being an actress, standup comedian, and producer, she's also written on shows like "Modern Family," "SNL," and "Seinfeld." During an AMA for Reddit, she revealed that she once took home a set-prop as a souvenir from an iconic episode, then lost it years later during the move. Leifer said, "...When we shot the marble rye [episode] Kramer's horse Rusty was eating a Costco sized can of Beefaroni, and the prop man gave me that empty can as a souvenir," she recalled, "...and when I moved, my movers threw it out, thinking it was just an empty can."
"Seinfeld" fans remember this giant-sized can (called 'Beefareno' in the episode), as it ended up causing Rusty the horse to pollute the air trailing behind him, making it unbreathable for the pulled-riders. In the episode, Kramer (Michael Richards) gives Susan's (Heidi Swedberg) parents a romantic horse and buggy ride on the streets of New York City. The flatulent-ridden results, for sure, derail their experience. As for Leifer, the memories continued when she brought the can home, even though it wasn't as permanent as she had hoped. Maybe this experience has taught her that if she ever takes a nostalgic souvenir again, she may want to ensure it isn't mistaken for garbage.
