interesting -- did youknow?

Most people don't know that back in 1912 Hellman'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 New York City.

this would be 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 Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were disconsolate("desperados") at the loss.

So much so that they declared a national day of mourning which they still observe today.

It is known, of course, as ......















Sinko de Mayo.
