Along with other supermarket giants, Asda is a hugely common brand with many people often mentioning its name without a second thought.
But many people are now only just realising how Asda got its name. It's all to do with a 1965 merger, according to the Mirror.
Brothers Peter and Fred Asquith were running a butcher's shop in Yorkshire but, after a trip to America, saw the potential for an "under one roof" store, after visiting the Piggly Wiggly, possibly the world's first supermarket.
