57 Ketchup Trick Relieves Sauce Anticipation

57ketchupWe thought everyone knew this ketchup trick but have been surprised how may people didn’t know about the “57 Ketchup trick” where you hit the 57 on the bottle of ketchup to release the sauce/ketchup from it’s glass prison.  We tested the 57 ketchup bottle trick HERE…

Maybe it’s because the classic glass ketchup bottles are so hard to find.  We had trouble locating anything NOT plastic for this video.

The question remains was the “57” branded on the bottle to actually be used for this purpose or happy accident?

Interesting that Henry Heinz came up with “57 Varieties” from looking at a shoe store slogan.   Some say there were already over 60 sauce varieties at the time but the 5 and 7 were he and his wife’s favorite numbers.  Thank you wikipedia.
