French's Mustard Man gets ready for taste of life in the Midwest
Posted on Fri Aug 21 2009
Mustard Man is finally moving out of his parents' house. The French's mascot, born in Rochester, New York, and most recently living in Parsippany, N.J., has found a new home (and freedom from all that nagging) at the upcoming Advertising Icon Museum in Kansas City, Mo., which is slated to open in 2010. According to Amy Stern, a spokesperson for French's, the condiment manufacturer (with the help of art studio LifeFormations in Bowling Green, Ohio) created a sculpture of Mustard Man to be shipped to the museum because there weren't any extra soft-form suits to spare. The replica of the mascot was then brought next door for some model shots at Keith Meiser Photography. The images nicely capture Mustard Man's classic emotions: mildly interested, harrumph and yellow. Kansas City hot dogs better gird their buns in preparation for his arrival. Ketchup, watch out. Your days are numbered.
