Is the company "Groupon" really named after the mustard "Grey Poupon"?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33170points) July 6th, 2018

Something I read suggested that Groupon didn’t really come from “Group Coupon” but was from “Grey Poupon” – lifted from that old commercial where one Rolls Royce stops next to the author and asks if the other passenger had any mustard.

Seems flimsy to me, but not utterly out of the question. Have we been played with?
