Talk:A.1. Sauce

message: Apparently, Gilbert Heublein (List of people by name: Hes-Hez#Hes-Heu) of Heublein hotel & liquors & Heublein Tower, introduced it to the U.S.; may be worth mention after research, especially since IIRC some sites make him sound like its inventor. --Jerzy•t 15:24, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I remember eating A1 sauce in the late 1980s, and I distinctly remember it not having anchovies.  I was/am very picky, and I wouldn't have eaten it if it had anchovies in it.

replies: text:  You are wrong.  It's always had anchovies.  I'm OCD and a long long time customer.  It's always had anchovy paste. 98.194.39.86 (talk) 10:54, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: As cited in the article, it contains neither anchovies nor anchovy paste and there is no indication it ever did. - SummerPhDv2.0 13:57, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  A1, back in the day - ALWAYS contained anchovies.  I am an OCD label reader, and back in 1977 or so - it definitely contained anchovies.  Without question. 76.143.148.157 (talk) 07:36, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

message: after the A is a period, is it an initial for anything?
:It was a matter of "reformulating" (it was a matter of legal problems, etc. . .) the TM/brand.  "A1", "A.1" , "A.1." ,also sometimes including "sauce."  This is similar in usage to USA, U.S.A., US, U.S., US of A, etc. . .. Gnostics (talk) 00:03, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  What's in it? 

message: In the section "In popular culture" (which is arguably just another name for what used to be called trivia, which pretty much by definition is unencyclopedic; but that's a different discussion), it says that some people in a film "use the term A1 as a reference to the term steak sauce which has the same meaning as awesome". That's not only trivial and  unencyclopedic, but also A) just flat-out nonsensical, and B) (f)actually wrong. Since when, how, and why would "steak sauce" have "the same meaning as awesome"?!? And on reading through the trite piece of movie dialog linked to, you find that it's actually the other way around: the characters are in reality using "the term" steak sauce as a reference to "the term" A1 -- which, yes, fricking obviously, "has the same meaning as awesome": Just compare at the top of the page, how the sauce is supposed to have got that name in the first place.
At the least, the stupid wording needs to be reversed (preferably, of course, the whole section could be removed). --CRConrad (talk) 13:21, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. Out it goes. Not only is it trivial and nonsensical, but it is sourced to Wikiquotes, which is not a reliable source. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 15:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason why this page shouldn't be moved to include the initials as seen in the logo? Robert K S (talk) 13:08, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: they no longer officially call it that, taking Steak out of the name to sell it to people eating other meats than steak. I don't like it either, but that's the way it is.23:08, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
