i thought it was 57 just because he liked the number? i thought they had more varieties of food than that when it started?

Heinz is actually Del-Monte foods. they just kept the name

i believe they only sold a few lines of food, not the whole company

well when i took the electrical test it sure as hell said Del-Monte on the door of the building and same with the test

the main door? this is what i found real quick http://www.heinz.com/jsp/delmonte.jsp

the door you use to go inside where the food court is. has it on it. the test i took also said Del-Monte on it and it was for the main plant down in PGH.
