The History of Mayonaise

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

Very Good! Of course, someone will say it's racist or too ethnic or some
damn thing, but it was a great story!

(And boating related even.)
