JJ BS: Heinz 57 varieties? (53* d) RE: BS: Heinz 57 varieties? 19 Aug 07


If you are ever in Pittsburgh, be sure to visit the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center and Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, which may be the longest title of any institution anywhere.

Besides learning a lot about George Washington, immigrants and labor, you can also sit in a section of the museum dedicated to (duh!) the H. J. Heinz Company and watch 22 minutes of international commercials, some of which are very funny and some of which are very WTF? When last there, I marveled at the internationality of the hot dog. Thailand? South Korea?

My favorite -- the British commercial about little Margaret and her dream of growing up to become prime minister. And what, my British friends, is Salad Cream?

Just to redd up in here (Azizi knows what I mean) the true Pittsburgh dialect is not very close to Spaw's rendition of it.
