Heinz 56: References "Heinz 57". Created in 1909 advertisement slogan "57 varieties" in time became a synecdoche. It has come to mean anything made up from many parts, which Archer relates to as he thinks bad Blood Mary cocktail with ketchup instead of tomato juice.

Continuity Edit

Cheryl's pet ocelot Babou makes another appearance in this episode.

Trivia Edit

The episode starts at the famous Grand Central Terminal.

Special Guest Stars this episode are Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay, and Mike Smith are best known for playing Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles (respectively) in the Canadian show Trailer Park Boys . Robb, Mike, and John all recorded their dialogue from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and did not get to meet the main cast until after the episode was finished. If the viewer listens very closely to Kenny Bliko when he talks, there is a slight difference in audio quality as compared to the rest of the characters, as a recording studio in a smaller city like Halifax would not be to par with a recording studio in Los Angeles or New York, where the main characters record most of their dialogue.

. Malory does not want Pam to board the train at all for fear that she may stow away, "just like on the blimp". This is a reference to the Season 1 episode "Skytanic ".

Cheryl turns out to own half of the railroad that the episode takes place on. (The other half would be owned by her brother.)

When Malory discovers Pam and the private cars, she refers to Cheryl as "Carol."

Archer uses an obsolete WWII US Mk II fragmentation grenade, which had been replaced by the M26 in the 1950s.
