I think it's quite funny, one of the better A1 commercials that they have come up with.

According to Wikipedia
"Rock musician and singer Meat Loaf is the current spokesman for the steak sauce, appearing in TV commercials for the product, to promote its new slogan: "A1 - Makes beef sing." In his commercial for the product, the slogan is "Makes Meat Loaf sing." |

Why would a steak sauce need a spokesperson?

And as Chris said, it was one ad campaign, and they have since used another star in an ad. To suggest Meat's their "new spokesperson" is typical of the stuff people shove onto Wiki. But it was a good ad, and a funny one

If it's not true why haven't A1 removed it then?

I most certainly do, and I'm sure A1 monitor there page on Wikipedia every now and again. If something like that was false they would have removed it.

![]() No, I think that's probably an assumption that someone has made because of the ads. When I was in the US this summer, as I said, they are now playing a different ad with a different performer. Imo it's a stretch to suggest anyone is a "spokesperson" just because they appear in a TV ad for a product. A spokesperson would surely be speaking out regularly on behalf of a company or product, and Meat has not done that .. just made a couple of good ads for the company .. a company whose marketing strategy seems to be focused on using a variety of performers to promote their product. Whoever posted it in Wiki seems to be as unsure of what the definition of the word is as you are .. ie a person who speaks as the representative of another or others often in a professional capacity. Acting in a TV ad is hardly speaking in a professional capacity for the company. Joanna Lumley was the only actress used to promote Muller yoghurt for several years, and was so popularly associated with the product that when she was dropped as being "too old" by Muller, their sales dropped significantly as women voted with their feet .. as a result she was asked to come back and be their TV advertising face again .. but she has never acted as their spokesperson, nor do I suspect she would see herself as that. There are significant numbers of famous faces associated for far longer with specific products/companies from cosmetics, to communications, to food .. none of them are "spokesperson" for the product ... just its advertising face Caryl |

A1 Sauces are owned by Kraft Foods, so unless Kraft Foods are editing these pages themselves there is no reason to believe Meat Loaf is a "Spokesperson" for a sauce. In the edit history there are only a bunch of usernames and mostly IP addresses. None of these appear to belong to Kraft Foods so the wikipedia page could be full of horse shit for all we know.

![]() Cheryl Cole does lots of ads for L'Oreal but that does not mean she is a spokesperson for the hair product or goes around the country washing people's hair or represents the brand beyond the adverts. It seems a rather childish assumption to think of Meat Loaf as the steak sauce man. ![]() |

Did you write this?

And see folks that's easy it is to edit. Wiki means nothing. I've seen a lot of people fooling around on there. There was a Derren Brown show on TV last year and I was curious to know his age, so looked it up on Wiki and it told you that evening he had died that day. A few hours later the deceased information was taken off by someone else. Last edited by AndrewG; 02 Oct 2010 at 17:40. |

Ok I get it now, Meat is not the spokesperson he's just a famous face in the A1 ad.
![]() I much prefer the "GoPhone" ad though. The A1 is to plain. ![]() |
