"Heinz 57" meaning in English

See Heinz 57 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈhaɪnz ˌfɪftiˈsɛvn̩/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈhaɪnz ˌfɪftiˈsɛvən/ [General-American] Forms: Heinz 57s [plural]
Rhymes: -ɛvən Etymology: From the “57 Varieties” slogan introduced by the H. J. Heinz Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., in 1896 to advertise the fact that it produced numerous food products. Heinz is derived from the surname of the American entrepreneur Henry John Heinz (1844–1919) who founded the company (borrowed from German Heinz), while 57 was apparently an arbitrary number chosen by Heinz because 5 was his lucky number and 7 his wife’s lucky number; at the time, the company was already selling more than 60 products.
