The ever shrinking Hovis bread
I buy the small Hovis loaves on a regular basis.
Like many foods now it seems, the size of the slices has shrunk. ![]() Has anyone else noticed? |

1895: Hovis becomes an established household name, selling over one million loaves a week and marketed as a healthy product. It is sold in 1lb and 2lb loaves, as well as ‘junior’ 8oz loaves and ‘mini’ Hovis penny loaves.
http://www.bakeryinfo.co.uk/news/ful...s_history.htmlI don't remember this either - Quote:
1925: The “Don’t say Brown, say Hovis” advertising slogan is born.
Do you?
