SANDY, Utah, July 23 (UPI) -- Police said they have arrested a Sandy, Utah, man who allegedly pulled a handgun on a fellow motorist who asked if he had any "Grey Poupon."

Investigators said the 22-year-old man was incensed at the request for Dijon mustard, an oft-used reference to an old commercial for the product featuring two men rolling down their windows at an intersection, and pulled a black handgun from his glove compartment, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Wednesday.
