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 to 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.

Since there are a lot of misconceptions about what Cinco de Mayo is all about, here it is.
For me personally its a great excuse to go to my favorite Mexican Restaurant, eat Fajitas, and drink Corona. If the French would have won it would be overpriced wine and food that I can not pronounce...


The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16

I dont care about the truth...I will forever tell people its because the Titanic sank and the Mexicans didnt get their mayo.

Everyone knows that the Mexicans were so mad about it they Bombed Pearl Harbor 30 years later.

Did notice in my travels yesterday that traffic was lighter than usual, all the construction sites only had a few folks working, mostly folks that seemed to be wondering where everybody else was at.

Guess I missed the big celebration, although my wife made fajitas for supper.
