Not to mention what happened when the British army met that same force (abandoned their equipment and fled in small boats)

And French's mustard (the standard American yellow mustard) who had to take full page adverts out in US newpapers to remind everyone that 'French's' was a brand name and nothing to do with the 'cheese-eating surrender monkeys'.
