Few people know that Hellman's Mayonnaise used to be made in England. In fact, in 1912, The company planned to ship 10,000 jars to Mexico on the HMS Titanic. Mexico was to be the next stop after New York. As we all know, the Titanic sank before it reached New York. With it went the 10,000 jars. The Mexican people were distraught. They loved the condiment and were anxiously awaiting its arrival. They were so upset that they designated a National Holiday to forever mark the occasion. They called the holiday Sinko de Mayo.
