Today in History... Mexicans all over the world commemorate "El 5 de Mayo".

What is this all about, you ask? Well, recent expeditions to the Titanic have unearthed (or should that be unwatered or unoceaned) some little known facts:

For example, most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellman's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. The "Titanic" was carrying 12,000 jars of scheduled for delivery in Veracruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after New York City.

The Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were disconsolate at the loss. So much so that they declared a national day of mourning which they still observe today. It is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
