Heinz 57
Ketchup company number
Heinz 57 describes something of mixed or indeterminate origin, especially a dog of uncertain breeding: She adopted a Heinz 57 from the shelter.
The phrase comes from the Heinz company's old slogan advertising "57 varieties" of products—if something has that many components, you can't easily identify them.
Also used for people of mixed heritage or things assembled from diverse sources.
