The truth about this hallowed day!!


> Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was
> manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of
> the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be
> the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
>
>
> This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever
> delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to
> New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever
> lost.
>
>
>
> The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly
> awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so
> great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still
> observe to this day.
>
>
>
> The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of
> course, as Sinko de Mayo.

It's too bad that the ship was a cruise ship that crashed right by Newfoundland and wasn't anywhere near new York or Mexico at all. And *Cinco* de Mayo means the 5th of May, celebrated for the Battle of Puebla. Not mayonnaise. Feh.
