Catch Up, Mustard Relish, Don't Get Left Behind


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.


Only if you are an American would you think to shoot your food after it's already dead, and yet this product comes to us via the United Kingdom -- available here. (I still predict a lot of sales in Texas)


IMHO, there is a humility in the old-fashioned, un-labelled red and yellow condiment dispensers that has been left behind in this product. Where the tradtional dispensers conjure up images of an outdoor barbecue or picnic (see related product)...


... the condiment gun proffers no such tranquility.

Food fights? Obviously, the gun boasts a psychological edge, but whether its range and accuracy can match or better the traditional dispensers is another question.

The loading process looks cumbersome, and if the gun jams on you, you could be left with some pretty ordinary food.

Overall score: 67%
Justification: Still waiting for the super soaker version

Title a riff on Monkberry Moon Delight
