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. 

WHAT??! You expected something educational from me?!
