MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why does Heinz Ketchup have a 57 on the bottle?

Anytime you’ve squirted some ketchup on your fries or burger at a restaurant you’ve probably wondered what the “57” on the Heinz bottle stands for.  It’s such a random number to use.

The 57 represents the varieties of pickle the company once had and sold. 57 different kinds!

BONUS TIP: You may have heard this before but in the glass Heinz bottles if you tap it the ketchup on the 57 it helps it come out of the bottle much easier.
