Mustard ad wins at the Oscars

Pardon me adLost Footage adlost footage adThe Oscars are normally remembered for the winners, those who should have won and the dresses. Grey Poupon has added commercials to that list.

The mustard company released a trailer for a special 'mini movie' that follows on from its 1981 commercial titled "Pardon me".

In the original and well known ad that ran through the 80s and 90s, two cars pull up next to each other, and the occupant of one car asks the occupant of the other car for some mustard, to be handed a jar of Grey Poupon.

The follow on called "the Lost Footage" involves a 007-esqe car chase as a result of the mustard not being returned. The 30 second 'trailer' ran during the Oscars whilst the full length short was up on their website at the same time.

Clever and funny. Take a look at both adverts and the short movie below.
