Sainsbury's is renaming its tiger bread after a letter a three-year-old girl wrote to the company, saying the bread looked more like a giraffe, went viral.

In May 2011, Lily Robinson wrote to the supermarket, suggesting that the bread should be called giraffe bread.

She received a letter back saying that renaming it was "a brilliant idea".

Lily's letter said: "Why is tiger bread called tiger bread? It should be called giraffe bread. Love from Lily Robinson age 3 and 1/2".

The story is adorable. But 'Giraffe Bread' doesn't sound any where near as cool as 'Tiger Bread'.

It hasn't, what's new is that they changed the name of the bread after the response from it going viral ages ago

Too cute! And the kid is right, it does look more like a giraffe.
