Need some help with a family trivia game....What were the first 10 varieties of the Heinz 57 Varieties, and what year was each introduced?

John Heinz

There are no 57 varities, it is just a random number chosen for advertizing. The Heinz company is their ketchup. Oct 25 02, 4:28 AM

http://www.pghphotos.org/MAIN/feature.html gives the early history and http://www.heinz.com/jsp/consumer_faq.jsp gives you the reason for the name. The Heinz 57 Varieties slogan is synonymous with the name 'Heinz.' Their 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 Oct 25 02, 7:28 AM
