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.
