Good Day All!
05 May is this coming Friday. This is a very important event that begins on a historically significant day.
In order to help you understand the importance I have provided you with a brief history snippet:
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.
