The maximum speed of "Heinz" Ketchup exiting a glass bottle is 0.028 MPH (0.5 KPH).
Tests are conducted, and if it is faster - it is rejected for sale!
The "57" sign on the bottle stands for number of varieties that Henry Heinz was producing back then in 1896. Since then, the company manufactures more than 5700 products but lucky number 57 stayed.
By the way, the 57 sign is the best spot to hit the bottle to expedite ketchups exit.
