Facts are..
'be held'

HISTORY LESSON

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 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 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. It occurs each year on May 5th....and is known........
of course.... as Sinko de Mayo...
