A1 is a steak sauce and
condiment for use with meat or game dishes.
It
was developed in the United Kingdom as a brand in the year 1831 and was later
introduced to the United States by G.F. Heublein and (&) Bros., and was
officially registered as a trademark in North America in 1895.
The
original steak sauce upon which A1 is based was created in 1824 by Henderson
William Brand, a chef to King George IV of the United Kingdom. Legend has it
that the king declared it "A1" and the name was born. It went into
commercial production under the Brand & Co. label in 1831, and continued
production under this label after bankruptcy forced ownership of Brand &
Co. to be transferred to W.H. Withall in 1850. It was renamed A1 in 1873, after
a trademark dispute between creator Henderson William Brand and Dence &
Mason, who had since purchased Brand & Co. from Withall. It was then
introduced to the United States in 1895 under the ownership of G.F. Heublein
& Brothers. In 1931, A1 was introduced to Canada.
Heublein
was acquired by R. J. Reynolds in 1982, which merged with Nabisco in 1985 to
form RJR Nabisco. In 1999, Kraft Foods acquired Nabisco, including the A1
brand.
In
2000, the A1 line of marinades was launched, representing the first expansion
of the trademark.
Rock
musician and singer Meat Loaf has appeared in a TV commercial for the product,
to promote its new slogan: "A1 - Makes beef sing." In the commercial,
the slogan is "Makes Meat Loaf sing," and he sings a very small
excerpt from his hit "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)"
