Statement by French's Mustard company
Does anyone know if this is true or not??? Kinda funny.
Just don't put any French's on your Tommy Franks...they don't get along. OMFG that was lame. 
The makers of French's Mustard made the following recent statement "We, at the French's Company, wish
to put an end to statements that our product is manufactured in France. There is no relationship, nor has
there ever been a relationship between our mustard and the country of France. Indeed, our mustard is
manufactured in Rochester, NY. The only thing we have in common is that we are both yellow"
= mustard smile
lol
this is probably true
A lot of stupid ignorant Americans began boycotting French's due to France's not supporting us in this war. I think it began after the whole re-naming of French Fries & French Toast to Freedom Fries...lol
lamest shit ever
no wonder our country is a laughing stock when our congress debates on such rediculous issues such as that
rediculous=ridiculous
WERE IGNORANT REDNECKS!!!!!!11111

Maybe the news people here realize how petty it makes us look.

It's yellow, but not French

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The company that makes French's mustard wants Americans to know the spicy condiment isn't French.
It's British, but that's beside the point.
Reckitt Benckiser PLC � the British behemoth that manufactures Lysol, Spray 'n Wash and French's mustard � issued a press release yesterday through a New Jersey subsidiary to remind reporters of the condiment's American seeds.
"For the record, French's would like to say, there is nothing more American than French's mustard," the statement said. R.T. French Co., a Reckitt Benckiser precursor, introduced its "cream salad mustard," alongside the hot dog, in 1904 at the St. Louis World's Fair.
It seems French's mustard wants to distance itself from the French people. France has refused to support the war in Iraq, which inspired two Republican members of Congress last week to call a press conference to announce that House cafeterias have dropped the word "french" before fries and toast on their menus and replaced it with "freedom."
Americans expect this sort of thing from politicians. But a press release, on the eve of war, to declare French's mustard isn't French? Isn't that laying it on a little thick?
What's next? Is Betty Crocker going to hit the talk-show circuit to remind us that German chocolate cake isn't really from Germany, another country that opposes the war?
If so, Americans probably will just roll with the punches. C'est la vie, non?
War's almost over anyhow.
The real test is still to come.
p.s. Thanks Flutterby!
