I don't know if it's still around, but by god I felt like vomiting opening the can - it smelled like diarrhoea - honestly... poor dog" 🙁

Pork and beans out of a can too. But you can scrap that little chunk of fat they put in there. I never did understand why they did that.

No, they have to include that little chunk of fat. Otherwise they couldn't call it "pork and beans". (That's the pork!!) 😵

garbanzo beans...what is your best memory of old canned food and what canned food do you buy today ?

My canned food would have to be Campbell's soups, especially chicken noodle and tomato. I also like tuna and crackers.
Tuna stimulates the mind...
Soup stimulates the soul... (if you believe in that sort of thing...)

According to Wikipedia, it refers to the number of products of the company at the time the slogan was invented, although it was not the actual number of products, but rather a number somewhat close to the true number, chosen for symbolic reasons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_57

Of course I didn't really believe it was the number of beans in a can, I thought it might be the weight or something. I didn't know about the connection of the number with the company. I don't think it's used here, or maybe I just haven't noticed.

You are correct. It is the amount of products there were when the company was started. But now you have to tell me the 57 different products...? 😛

I can't help but laugh at how many people take Wikipedia as factual. There are so many erroneous or innaccurate postings in there yet it is frequently drawn as a source of fact. I am not saying it is all farce, but I am saying be careful representing it as factual.
