Grey Poupon

Upscale Dijon brand

Grey Poupon is a brand of Dijon mustard, known for its sharp, vinegary flavor and association with upper-class taste.

A 1980s advertising campaign featuring wealthy passengers in Rolls-Royces asking Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon? made the phrase a cultural touchstone for affected refinement and a target for parody.
