Hellmann's mayonnaise

Hellmann's mayonnaise

 

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. The people of Mexico, "ho 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 5th and is known, of course, as:

                       "SINKO DEMAYO"
