Most people don't know that 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 have been 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 lost
forever.
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. 4951
