Talk:Grey Poupon

Kraft of Dijon
Made by Kraft Foods? That contradicts the Trivia part of the Wikipedia article Burgandy saying that the mustard originated in Dijon. Either that or blatant advertising this must be changed. Or is this article just on Kraft's Grey Poupon which it seems to be.

Grey poupon is merely the brand name of a mustard made in the Dijon style, that is, the way the people in Dijon make mustard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.188.71.182 (talk) 23:00, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Also appears in issue #71 of X-Factor, where Guido ask Lorna Dane to pass some right on page 1.

Original Research and POV?
''The PBS show America's Test Kitchen praised Grey Poupon for having a date stamp, a feature not found on other national brands of dijon-style mustard, for freshness (Episode 620). This may have been an example of product placement[citation needed], and is of dubious benefit as mustard is a naturally preserved condiment and sulfiting chemicals are added as an additional safeguard.''

The last sentence seems to be the editor's own conclusion. In WP, this is called OR and possibly POV. Do we have a source, like a cooking magazine, which makes similar conclusions? GoodWikian (talk) 19:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Film and Television verification?
Article has claimed that Grey Poupon commercial was satirized in the 1983 movie Trading Places since 14 August 2007 (an edit from IP address 87.203.172.207). I've watched the movie twice looking for it and can't find it. Can someone else verify that the commercial is referenced/satirized in Trading Places or should this be removed?

No idea, but I know for a fact that it's referenced in the opening to the song "Pimps (Freestylin' at the Fortune 500 Club)" by The Coup ('fuck nah I ain't got no Grey Poupon"). Derp. 86.180.219.107 (talk) 10:44, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Brown Poupon?
I think I remember reading something about "brown poupon" a while back, I don't know whether it was a real product or not. Stonemason89 (talk) 15:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I quote from the Kraft site "in Dijon, France, a certain Monsieur Poupon agreed to financially back the development of a Monsieur Grey’s secret mustard recipe" ... so no, not unless Poupon backed the development of a second mustard invented by Mr. Brown. Incidentally, is it pronounced the same as "poop on", or is the n silent or something? 213.122.21.136 (talk) 14:42, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The o is properly a little more like "bone", but not as stretched out, and gliding quickly into the n. The n is properly the nasal French sound sans stop. A good rendering is at [|http://www.forvo.com/word/poupon/]. That said, many Americans will be amused if you pronounce it properly. It is more often rendered in the states as poop-on.

History
This other article indicates that Grey Poupon was started in the latter quarter of the eighteenth century, whereas here it is declared to be nearly an hundred years later; which is correct? Happy days, LindsayHello 19:28, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

An editor has requested for Gray Poupon to be moved to Gray Poupon (album). Since you had some involvement with Gray Poupon, you might want to participate in the move discussion (if you have not already done so). -- Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 14:06, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
