It seems that Hellman's Mayonnaise was
originally a British product and was exported
around the world. One of the biggest shipments
-- 24,000 quart jars -- was in the cargo hold
of the Titanic. The Titanic was due to continue
on from NYC, after its maiden crossing, to
Mexico, where they were eagerly awaiting the
shipment, as all supplies had been used up.
We all know what happened: the tragic loss of
life.........and the loss of the 24K jars of
Hellman's. The Mexicans were so struck by the
loss that they set up a national day of morning
that is still observed today.........as


 Sinko de Mayo
