Heinz Pickle Pin, circa 1982
01
Artifact Overview
The pickle charm was H.J. Heinz's most successful promotion and giveaway. The charm eventually evolved into a lapel pin, allowing customers to wear their souvenirs in public -- a simple, yet extremely effective marketing strategy. This pickle pin was a souvenir from the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee -- distributed by a large motorized ketchup bottle!
