Bad Joke, my Brother. Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Just try.
There are many stories related to the sinking of the “Titanic”.
Some have just come to light due to the success of the recent movie.
For example, most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellman’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England.
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.
The people of Mexico were eagerly awaiting delivery and were disconsolate 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”
