Spinoffs and Other Items
Besides the year 2000 ketchup pin, several similar items to the Heinz pickle pin have appeared over the years. A golden lapel pin in the shape of a pickle is a recent example, and Heinz has also made a pickle whistle, presumably as a fun item for kids too young to wear a pin (similar to the Oscar Meyer hot dog whistles distributed from the Wienermobile). In recent years, the amount of Heinz merchandise available has become so large that Heinz actually operates its own retail store called the House of Heinz, located in Grove City, Pennsylvania.

Famous quotes containing the word items:
“In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
