Did you know: The 57 on the Heinz bottle represents the number of varieties of pickle the company once had😀

I always thought it was the number of times you had to whack the bottle before the ketchup first comes out. 🙂

Thixotropic

That's the engineering term that describes behavior of fluids like ketchup. Extremely high resistance to flow, just until it breaks loose and starts moving, and then low resistance like water.

See, you've just learned a new word.
