Subject: Best Foods Mayonnaise, VERY INTERESTING
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Best
Food'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 Mexico. It
sank smashing into an iceberg.
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.
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

I thought the Titanic sank in April...
Anyhow, guess the bottom feeders of the North Atlantic coast off Greenland got fat on mayo that year!

They're planning to give the southern tier of counties in Iowa to Missouri. Raise the IQ of both states. This pretty much proves it.
