TIL that Heinz ketchup doesn't have 57 varieties. It was a marketing gimmick by the founder. His favorite # was 5 and his wife's favorite # was 7.

Interesting. I assumed they tried 56 recipes that weren't quite good enough, and then found one they liked. Kind of like WD-40: 39 formulas failed, but he nailed it on the 40th try.

It wasn't all fake. Heinz himself did say 5 & 7 came from fav numbers...

 

...but like everything else that goes through multiple sources, it comes out the othet end partially skewed.

 

When I hear fake news, that IMO, means a totally bogus story.

 

There is some truth to where the 57 comes from.

Oh... And it was a marketing gimmick. They just had 57 varieties to back it up... Actually, they had over 60. Some, Gug didn't list.

TIL while going through drinking age history (I know Wiki, probably pretty accurate):

 

"Puerto Rico drinking age is still 18, since

 

Kept at 18
despite 10% highway funding
penalty unde
r Drinking Age Act"

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._history_of_alcohol_minimum_purchase_age_by_state

 

I knew this:

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Minimum_Drinking_Age_Act

 

 

Anyway... That 10% withheld for 30 years in Puerto Rico sure could have helped their infrastructure????

And they could have had it if they'd raised their drinking age to 21.

Don't ever correct me in front of my friends again. We've discussed this.

And in the 80s I was told by the experts that typing would soon be gone and that the English language would be extinct.

 

Gee, how'd they do on that one, EVERYONE TYPES now... and English is the language of the internet.

 

Did that stop the experts from continuing with 100% dead wrong predictions?
