I believe that I've posted this before but the ancestors of the Heinz family emigrated from the same town as the ancestors of the Trump family to the USA:

Heinz & Trump are related. A certain symmetry if you think about it...

I believe that I've posted this before but the ancestors of the Heinz family emigrated from the same town as the ancestors of the Trump family to the USA:

Donald Trump's paternal ancestry is traceable to Bobenheim am Berg, a village in the Palatinate, Germany, in the 18th century. Johann Trump, born in Bobenheim in 1789, moved to the nearby village of Kallstadt where his grandson, Friedrich Trump, the grandfather of Donald Trump, was born in 1869

Henry John Heinz was born in Pittsburgh on October 11, 1844, the son of German immigrants John Henry Heinz (1811–1891), of Kallstadt, Palatinate, Kingdom of Bavaria, and Anna Margaretha Schmidt (1822–1899), of Kruspis, Haunetal, Hesse-Kassel. His father immigrated to the United States at age 29 in 1840
...
Through his father's family, Henry Heinz was a second cousin to Frederick Trump, who emigrated to the United States in 1885. Trump was the immigrant ancestor and paternal grandfather of Donald Trump of New York City

Fortunately, our local Swiss store has plenty. Thank goodness I don't live in the EU.

Loads here, I thought they were made in the Netherlands now...
