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.
yay its sinko de mayo, lets go eat mayonaise!


I once read that studies have shown that most accidents occurr within 10 miles of home, so I moved

Just think - Except for a minor ingredient change, the holiday could be called (wait for it)...
Cinco de Miracle Whip.


Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.
