Titanic Trivia



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 early in May in VeraCruz, 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 in early May and is known . .
of course as . .

prefer to use "tasteless" mayonaisse. ...Jon

I wouldn't call it tasteless. It just tastes ICKY. I won't eat the stuff and
send back anything that comes dressed with it.
