Not To Be Squeezed At

The benefits of Brexit continue to mount up and we're on course to be condiment kings of the world.
Those who claim we couldn't cut the mustard won't relish the news and may pepper their comments with salty phrases but lo,

Britain is great again.

Any replies beginning 'so you think...' will be dismissed out of hand.

Peace out. X :-)

Can I buy a few boxes of broon sauce on HP?

[ToraToraTora]

always thought you were a bit of a sage doug.

[Spicerack]

Good news for people with home pride.
I expect the remain pestos and their sour kraut mates will give it a chilli reception.

[naomi24]

The salt of the earth, our Doug. He knows his onions.

[ladybirder]

He's the cream of the crop.

What puzzles me is the name Heinz 57 because they had 57 varieties, did they really think they weren't going to produce a 58th?

"Can i buy a few boxes of broon sauce on HP?"
'Course you can, DTC, but if you miss payments, you'll have to ketchup quickly or the bailiffs will pay you a visit.

[DTCwordfan]

Ken - I May-or-Nays in terms of ketchup on missing payments.

Henry J. Heinz introduced the marketing slogan "57 pickle Varieties" in 1896. He later claimed he was inspired by an advertisement he saw while riding an elevated train in New York City (a shoe store boasting "21 styles"). The reason for "57" is unclear. Heinz said he chose "5" because it was his lucky number and the number "7" was his wife's lucky number.[1] However, Heinz also said the number "7" was selected specifically because of the "psychological influence of that figure and of its enduring significance to people of all ages".[2] Whatever the reasons, Heinz wanted the company to advertise the greatest number of choices of pickles. In fact by 1892, four years before the slogan was created, the Heinz company was already selling more than 60 products.[3]

Not in the UK - here Life is a Vindaloo and chips :-)

[douglas9401]

This is more like the thing, old Answerbank. :-)

[Mozz71]

I did smile at Doug forgetting the link. There was no source for the sauce.

[royfromaus]

You're only saying this now, Douglas because you have had the benefit of heinz-site.

"the bailiffs"

You missed a great opportunity to use "bayleafs" there!

[DTCwordfan]

true, Jim, he missed his thyme.

[Sunk]

But you can have too much of a good thing...
