A Bit of History 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 f 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, sank, and the cargo was forever
lost. The people of Mexico , who were crazy about mayonnaise, and
were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were inconsolable 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?
