For me to poupon!!!!

[Dave1982]

I came across a piece of mail at work today, addressed to the cafeteria at [Company]. I thought nothing of it until I went to deliver it. That's when I noticed that it was an ad from some food supply company focusing on - of all things - different varieties of mustard.

The ad even had a guy wearing a shirt for "Poupon U" as in "Poupon mustard University."

But try saying "Poupon U" out loud and see what you get.

Honestly, I can't decide if this was a legit ad that somehow no one thought to read aloud before sending, or some sort of elaborate prank.

Edited to Add: Decided to Google this....here is what I found http://mustardmuseum.com/poupon-u/

It is a real place. Never been there, but know people who have.

Looks like diaper filling, tastes good.

Did they decide that it sounded funny, so people will remember it? Only logical explanation (someone had to have said it out loud, no way the company did not know about it in advance).

Maybe they have a new brown musTURD. :-)

I've hear Poupon U's pretty crappy. It couldn't cut the mustard.

Did very well cutting the cheese, though.

I submit this.

Banned Grey Poupon commercial

A long time ago, pre-Internet, there was a magazine ad for Scotchgard or something like that, showing a jar of spilled mustard on the floor and the caption, "At last, a carpet you can Poupon without a stain."

Those copywriters knew exactly what they were doing then.
