It is a little-known fact that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in Great Britain.

In fact, the Titanic was known to be carrying some 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico. It would have been unloaded in New York and then reloaded onto a freighter bound for Mexico.

Had it been delivered, this would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. However, as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.

The people of Mexico, who were absolutely crazy about mayonnaise and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were devastated by the loss, and expressed their anguish by declaring 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."

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, it today is supposed to be Buddha's birthday.

So, it's not a day of nothing but tragedy.

AND!!!!!!

According to Jay Leno, the Big Mac was introduced on this date in 1968. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
