What is the significance of "57"?
The Heinz 57 Varieties slogan is synonymous with the name "Heinz." 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." Thus, a new advertising campaign was launched for Heinz 57 Varieties — and the rest is history!

It's 57 because when it started, Mr. Heinz thought the numbers 5 and 7 were lucky so he went with Heinz 57 (even though there were at the time he had more varieties!)

* 1869 - Horseradish
* 1870 - Sour gherkins
* 1870 - Mixed sour pickles
* 1870 - Chow chow pickle
* 1870 - Sour onions
* 1870 - Prepared mustard
* 1870 - Sauerkraut in crocks
* 1873 - Heinz & Noble catsup
* 1873 - Vinegar
* 1876 - Tomato ketchup

Nope, that's only a service mark of Heinz. Maybe they once existed.
