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

Instead of the Titanic, it should have been the Lusitania, which sunk on May
7th....a lot closer to Cinco de Mayo than the April 15th sinking of the
Titanic........IF ya wanna really get technical over a joke, that is.

I heard this here about 8-9 years ago and told it to a friend who
never lets me forgot it ever May 5th. I took my yearly beating last
