There actually aren’t “57 varieties” of Heinz ketchup, and never were.
Company founder H.J. Heinz thought his product should have a number, and he liked 57.
Hint: Hit the glass bottle on the “57,” not the bottom, to get the ketchup to flow.

“Wait,” you're probably thinking, “I had pear cider last week.”
Actually, “cider” is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented apples, and only apples.
Alcoholic beverages can be made from pears, but that drink is known as “perry.”
The drink was popular in England for centuries but fell out of favor during the second half of the twentieth century. That turned around in the 1990s when the drink was rebranded as pear cider.

Talk about having to go!
Wood frogs in Alaska have been known to hold their urine for up to eight months, sticking it out through the region’s long winters before relieving themselves once temperatures increase.
The urine actually helps keep the animal alive while it hibernates, with special microbes in their gut that recycle the urea (urine’s main waste) into nitrogen.
