Happy Monday! Hope you enjoyed the Super Bowl yesterday and had a swell weekend! and Happy Valentine’s Day!
Fun Fact: The number 57 is on all Heinz ketchup containers because the company founder H. J. Heinz liked the number 57.
It’s said that there are 57 varieties of the famous ketchup but that is just a myth. Heinz chose the number 57 because his favourite was five and his wife’s was seven.
Also, do you want the ketchup to flow better out of the bottle? Don’t hit the bottom, hit the number 57.

This weekend was the Super Bowl but it was also the Waste Management Open on the PGA Tour. This event is also known as the ‘Peoples Open’ because the fans are allowed to cheer loudly and go crazy to be honest. The 16th hole is the party hole and Sam Ryder became a legend on Saturday by getting a hole-in-one in front of the rowdy crowd.
