Shoppers have been left "mindblown" after finding out what Asda really stands for. It comes after former ITV News presenter Alastair Stewart posed the question to his 81,000 Twitter followers back in 2021.
The 70-year-old TV legend, who retired last week after almost 50 years on our screens, asked his followers if they knew the answer to the question without looking it up. He penned: "Without Google, do you know what the name Asda derives from?"
Alastair's tweet sparked a lively discussion online, with many left perplexed by the origin of the supermarkets iconic branding. One user replied: "Did not know that! I don't know anything without Google," another joked. "So the answer is no."
