Wasn't HP branded Hewlett Packard for ages ? Unless you're talking about HP sauce which name is a complete mystery

I believe HP Sauce is House of Parliament.

I thought HP Sauce referred to the Harry Potter franchise, which is a book about a UK orphaned teenager living with oppressive stepparents discovering the secret ingredient to making a delicious dipping sauce.

Probably Hawlett Packard and you are right, but no one says anything other HP these days.
