A popular Grey Poupon television commercial for the Dijon mustard in the 1980s showed a rich person dining in the back of his expensive car. Another expensive car pulls up and the person asks, “Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?” The other responds, “But of course!” The mustard jar is then shared. However, in one version, the dining person is not sharing his Grey Poupon, and his car drives off.
   
“Do rich people still drive around lending each other jars of mustard out of the windows of their limousines? Or did that end in the 80s?” was posted on X/Twitter by Ben Monroe on March 7, 2023. “Do rich people still drive around eating mustard?” was posted on X/Twitter by bipolar bear on July 5, 2023. “Do rich people still drive around eating mustard?” was posted on X/Twitter by Michael Brogna on March 13, 2024.
 
 
Wikipedia: Grey Poupon
Grey Poupon is a brand of Dijon mustard which originated in Dijon, France.
(...)
Heublein increased the visibility and name recognition of their mustard brand with a 1980s commercial pointing out that “one can enjoy the finer things of life with white wine mustard without paying high prices”, in which a Rolls-Royce pulls up alongside another Rolls-Royce, and a passenger in one asks “Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?” The other responds, “But of course!” The closing shot is of the Grey Poupon jar being passed between the vehicles. In one variation, the characters are on the Orient Express.
 
The commercial spawned a number of variations, often comedic; a 1991 version features Ian Richardson asking Paul Eddington if he has any Grey Poupon, to which Eddington replies, “But of course”, then motions for his driver to speed away.
