Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
  • Geraaldine Liddle (Curtin) is a small town woman from New Brunswick who gains local fame as she is about to appear on a gameshow called Bring Home the Bacon (a show with a pig theme similar to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?) with a top prize of $2 million dollars. As friends and family gather to watch Geraldine on television, including her "Three Little Piggies" she can call for extra help and an elderly woman who mostly only speaks one word which is "Coca Cola", family secrets come to surface, including the real maternity of Geraldine's daughter, and a physical fight occurs, bringing all the family and friends outdoors. As the fight is happening, Geraldine calls them for help with a question during the gameshow. The question is "What popular drink was invented in 1886 and refereed to as 'The ideal brain tonic'". After the question is asked, the scene turns back to the home where the fight is happening outdoors and the elderly woman is left alone inside, the telephone rings and she answers the phone only to say "Coca Cola". Geraldine, realizing the senility of the woman, doesn't give this as the correct answer, even though it is. Geraldine and her husband return to announce that she did not answer the question correctly, therefore, did not win the money. She had given the answer Dr Pepper.
