Default Bisto drops name after 101 years - First hand recollections needed ASAP

I do not normally do this, but first of all here is the story

Link to the Mirror site


Quote:
The gravy train hit the buffers yesterday as Bisto announced it was scrapping its famous name after more than a century.

With its slogan "Aah! Bisto" the meatflavoured gravy powder has been inseparable from our roasts - and a source of bafflement to the rest of the world - for 101 years.

Now Premier Foods is axing the name and putting days of the week on packs instead.

From this week jars and cartons will read "Aah! Monday" to "Aah Friday" in a risky rebranding exercise.

The firm claims it is all part of a drive to get families to spend more meal times together.

Now the emergency appeal

I received the following email

Hi Graeme,

It's Sarah from The Sunday Post, we spoke three years ago when you wrote an article on Bovril for me.
I was wondering if your knowledge extends to all things Bisto! We are looking for an IMV on the history, nostalgia and the rebranding of Bistro. See article. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-sto...5875-21156204/

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Sarah

Dear lord. You wrote an article on Bovril.

Eh so they are going to have Ahh Monday to Friday..

But surely it will still be called Bisto? They cant have five names for the same product... surely?

Does it really matter? Its only a name, the product will stay the same and no doubt everyone will call it Bisto anyway
