[NJARC] Today's date

[john ruccolo]

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.
