Heinz 57 is a shortened, popular form of the "57 Varieties"
slogan of the
H. J. Heinz Company. In its early days, the company wanted to advertise the great number of choices of canned and bottled foods it offered for sale, although the number
57 was chosen arbitrarily, as in fact by
1892 they had more than 60 products. The company now has more than 1100 products.
Although the company does not often use the slogan on its products today, the number 57 remains pervasive in its corporate culture and is known worldwide (although younger generations are markedly less familiar with it). In
Britain, the number 57 is still printed on the packaging of various Heinz products.
The slogan is printed on
Heinz pickle pins that are distributed by the millions.
Heinz 57 is also the name of one variety of Heinz
steak sauce. It is distinctive from other steak sauces in its color and flavor.
Heinz 57 is a reddish sauce with a taste more akin to spicy
ketchup than to other steak sauces. Heinz often markets the sauce as "ketchup with a kick" to highlight this distinction.
