1942 French's mustard ad
"A hit with the menfolks." Features mascot Hot Dan the Mustard Man, who seems to have been the French's mascot in the 30s and 40s. Sounds like an exclamation you say when something good happens. "You've got tickets to the sock hop? Well, Hot Dan the Mustard Man! We're going to have a swell time!"

I'm obligated to use "menfolks" and "Hot Dan the Mustard Man" at school today. I cannot, and will not, resist.

I can see it now...

"HOT DAN THE MUSTARD MAN, I GOT A 97 ON THE TEST!"

No, you have to add lots of mustard.

But isn't mustard a mild laxative?


Though obviously they just want you to have to buy their product more often.

Manfolk: By gum, that was a tiring day at the office. I'm glad to finally get home so that I can relax in the same coat and tie I wore all day at work. What's for dinner, my dear subservient-yet-happy housewife?

Womanfolk: A plate of sliced bologna

Manfolk: What th?!?! You call that a meal???

Womanfolk: *plops a heaping mound of mustard atop the cold cuts*

Manfolk: Well, Hot Dan the Mustard Man! That's a real dinner!

Well, Hot Dan the Mustard Man!
