Indeed!!

Here's a g roaner..

Hellmann's Mayonnaise - a bit of history.
 
 
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.
 
 
WHAT? You really expected something educational from me?
