Little known fact about the Titanic. In 1912, Hellman's Mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment to be delivered to Vera Cruz, Mexico which was to be the ill fated ships next port of call after it's stop in New York City. This would have been the single largest shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we all know, it went down in the North Atlantic with the mighty ship. The Mexican people loved Mayonnaise so much and this loss was so devastating that the Mexican people declared a National Day of Mourning which happens every year on the day the shipment was supposed to arrive. This day of course is May 5th or more commonly known as Sinko de Mayo.
