DID YOU KNOW.....
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.
