The Mayo Sunk!

[fiddlegrin]

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 to 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 lost forever.

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!
