Heinz: 57 Varieties?

Every time I pick up a Heinz ketchup bottle, I see "One of the original 57 varieties" written on it, or some other statement with the similar effect.

But, what are these "57 varieties"?

 

I'll start a list:

1. Tomatoe
2. Cheese
...

 

57 types of products that hienz makes I think

 

Here is Heinz's official explanation:

Our corporate history tells us that in 1896, Henry John Heinz noticed an advertisement for "21 styles of shoes." He decided that his own products were not styles, but varieties. Although there were many more than 57 foods in production at the time, because the numbers "5" and "7" held a special significance for him and his wife, he adopted the slogan "57 Varieties."

This question, however, is...what kind of 'special significance' are they talking about here?

How many times a week they...



















...took a walk in the park.

 

LOL!! This is great Val!

 

There are no 57 varieties.

It's all a conspiracy - meaningless propaganda perpetrated on unsuspecting consumers by the Heinz Corporation to further their bid for total and complete world domination.....or something...

as soon as we settle the mystery of the 57 varieties, can someone please explain the "33" on the Rolling Rock bottle?????

 

There's 33 total words on the back of the bottle - count 'em. It's like a 33-word quality guarantee

There aren't any 57 Varieties?! I feel cheated!

 

Damn, there aren't that many varieties of Lays!

 

Actually many people think Heinz only makes Ketchup. Well, they make a bunch of tomato products, and alot of pickle products notably their Relish.

The number of varieties is actually more than 57, I think it's about 63. They chose 57 because he happened to like the number.

 

Well, i can never see Heinz having 57 diffrent varieties, but i do know they do have a diffrent array of diffrent varieties, like relish and diffrent colored kiddy ketchup, but i doubt they actually have 57 varieties.

 

Damn, there aren't that many varieties of Lays!


then you and your girlfriend are doing something wrong....

ROFLMAO

 

Wait a minute...

 

There are 57 ways to have sex?!

 

I hope you all know I meant potato chips. What am I saying? Of course you don't!

 

potato chips, sex.. all the same, really, cause once you start, you can't stop after just one... [face_shocked]

 

But too much of a good thing can be bad...

 

you're contradicting yourself, valyn.

 

How am I contradicting myself?

 

something can't be good and bad at the same time.

 

I said too much of a good thing can be bad.
Like, too much sex could yield...soreness.

And, yes, I think that some good things can be bad at the same time, too.
Like, having the girl you adored for who knows how long suddenly tell you that they love you, only before they move away.

Something that's both good and bad is the definition of "Bittersweet", more or less.

 

they have chili type. its yummy
