Heinz Tomato Soup

This is Blip No 57, ( a mere beginner, I know ! ) and it made me think of my favourite canned soup.

Heinz Tomato Soup - 57 Varieties is a slogan they use.

In its early days, the Heinz company wanted to advertise the great number of choices of canned and bottled foods it offered for sale.

They had more than 60 products in 1892, however, the number 57 was chosen because the numbers "5" and "7" held special significance to Henry J. Heinz.

The number "5" was Henry Heinz's lucky number; the number "7" was his wife's lucky number.

A can of Heinz Tomato Soup is considered as one of your "5 a day" - that's good news!
