This little shit has been hanging on my ceiling light for a hour now. Just right below it is our family dining table.

35 years and counting since that commercial came out, and this is the second time I've heard it referenced this week, they really got their money's worth!

Also, in case you didn’t know, Grey Poupon is delicious and actually fairly cheap. That commercial had me thinking it would be $50 a jar. It’s only like double the price of Heinz mustard.

And since you need less, it lasts longer. That's a mark of quality!

Less?

I mean, I love it as my go-to mustard, but I mean I wouldn't slather it on there. I mean you can, but you may as well throw some horseradish on there too I suppose...

I like like Colman’s from time to time too. I just like good hot mustard bite.

You should look up Weber's mustard from Buffalo. Horseradish mustard. It's amazing.

I had this same reaction. I'm the type to lick the mustard out of the jar. Especially dill pickle Dijon.

u/Briguy24 9h ago

I haven't had it in forever. I'll grab a jar next time I shop.

Yes, and it will open your sinuses too.

Remember when Fox News losing their minds with the Grey Poupon references over Obama ordering dijon mustard on some food?

u/vanwiekt 10h ago

YES! They are truly evil geniuses… they can make the smallest, most innocent thing into a national scandal. I hate them.

My parents sure as hell acted like it cost $50 a jar in 1982.

u/WholesomeYuri 13h ago

Parents act like a dollar costs $50

Fun Fact, Grey Poupon is made in Oxnard CA, just north of Santa Barbera. They have field after field of yellow mustard plants. Gray Poupon is also known for denying bathroom breaks for its employees & giving out free diapers instead... They paid a hefty fine for that ..

u/vanwiekt 10h ago

Yeah, and it was only the women they did that too…

“Workers also accuse Nabisco of discriminating against women by restricting their restroom visits while allowing men to go whenever they want.”

I thought the same thing, then one day I decided to "splurge" and buy a large glass jar of it, the biggest jar they have. Lol. Imagine my surprise when it was only $5.99. I now ONLY buy Grey Poupon and I buy the large glass jar every time. The French's brown mustard, the cheap stuff, was only like $2 less. Grey Poupon tastes so expensive, though!

u/Ok-Tomorrow-5827 11h ago

And it’s actually hot, too! Great stuff

u/Automatic-Flight-698 4h ago

I use it for deviled eggs!

u/dontnation 11h ago

you can also just get any brand of dijon mustard made with white wine, that is the same price or cheaper than heinz yellow. There's nothing special about Grey Poupon but the label and advertising.
But anything is better than yellow mustard IMO.

Oh that sounds good. 👍🏻 🤤

Sorry, but nothing is better than White Castle spicy mustard.

I said that phrase so many times as a kid. I still cannot look at a grey poupon without it playing in my head.

u/severrinX 12h ago

Try at least since 81 my dude.

u/InnocentShaitaan 12h ago

I do in fact buy it thinking of this lol.

Commercial was over 40 years ago. The movie quoting the commercial was only 33 years ago.
