An interesting tidbit..... Most people don't know that back in 1912
> Hellman'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 New York City. Mexicans were crazy about
> the stuff.
>
> The Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were
> disconsolate ("desperados") at the loss. So much so that they
> declared a national day of mourning which they still observe today.
>
> It is known, of course, as ..... Sinko de Mayo.
