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.
