Don't say Mouse, say Hovis! :lol:


Here are some of the highlights in 120 years of Hovis’ history.
1886: Smith’s Patent Germ Bread is developed by flour miller Richard ‘Stoney’ Smith from Staffordshire. He developed a method of steam cooking that preserved the wheatgerm in bread.
A national competition was launched to find a name for the bread. Herbert Grime came up with the winning name, Hovis, short for hominis vis (strength of man in Latin). Yum Yum was in second place.
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.
1925: The “Don’t say Brown, say Hovis” advertising slogan is born.
1939-1945: Slogans including “Make Hovis your Ration” and “Thin Slices make Hovis go Further” were used during the Second World War.
1940: Hovis Granary is introduced alongside Hovis Wheatgerm.
1955: With the launch of commercial TV the “Don’t say Brown, say Hovis” slogan became even more famous.
1957: Bakery manufacturer Hovis and flour business McDougall merge as Hovis McDougall.
1962: Rank Hovis McDougall is formed through the merger of Hovis McDougall and flour miller Joseph Rank.
1973: The Hovis ‘boy and his bike’ advert, produced by film director Ridley Scott, is aired for the first time. It showed a delivery boy struggling up a hill.
1994: TV adverts used the slogan “Raised the Hovis Way” to emphasise Hovis’ traditional family values.
2001: British Bakeries launches opaque packaging featuring baked beans, cucumbers and tomatoes on Hovis loaves.
2005: Hovis is relaunched as “Healthiest Ever Hovis” with new packaging, a new logo, and a new recipe with 10% reduced salt. The Invisible Crust crust-free loaf is launched.
2006: Hovis celebrates its 120th anniversary with limited edition packaging on Hovis Original Wheatgerm loaves featuring the ‘boy and the bike’ delivery boy image from the 1973 Hovis commercial.
The birthday campaign will also include the return of the ‘boy and his bike’ television advert and new radio advertising. The advert will be re-aired for 10 days to May 20.
