Back in 1896, Henry John Heinz was riding a train and saw an ad for a shoe company with "21 varieties" of shoes. Henry liked this and told his company to put it on their labels... The company had 60 varieties at that time and Henry John Heinz just thought it had a nice "ring" to it... They skipped right over "57 varieties", they released their varieties in pairs and groups...
