RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

NUMBERS

I love numbers. Here are numbers used in product names. Can you think of any others?

Oldsmobile 88 - Car model 1949 - 1999 that featured a new V-8 engine.

Phillips 66 - Gasoline tested on Rt. 66 by a car going 66 mph in 1927.

Heinz 57 - Chosen because 5 was Henry Heinz' favorite number and 7 was his wife's.

Colt 45 - Cream Ale named after Colts running back Jerry Hill who wore that number in 1963.

WD-40 - Chosen because it was the 40th attempt at a water displacement oil.

V-8 - Juice made from tomatoes and seven other fruits and vegetables.

7-UP - Soda pop made with seven natural flavors.

Chanel No. 5 - Chosen because it was introduced on the 5th day of the 5th month.
