Hellmann's Mayonnaise " A Float "

Ambassador Lee Emil Wanta

 

Most people do not 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.
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."
 
The " National Day of Mourning " occurs  each year on May 5 and is known,  of course,
as - Sinko De Mayo.  
WHAT

You need a big glass of sweet Chinese Tea!
