In the supermarket today, I noticed that the labels on the Heinz ketchup bottles said things like COMFORTS BURNT HOTDOGS and FRENCH FRIES NOT INCLUDED and FUN TO SQUEEZE. I thought that was kind of nifty, and possibly a precursor of far more interesting labeling practices to come across the food industry in general. But a quick Web search turned up this link and this link, informing me that I'm four years behind the condiments here: they started with the talking labels in 1999. Oh, well. I still think they're kind of nifty.

My Web search also turned up miscellany.com: online Americana, where you can purchase signs like this and this.
