Subject: This looks like something we hear from kids in many public schools throughout the United States
Imagine, with the quality of some public school education systems today, the following historical presentation being given by a student.
Little Known Fact
Many stories have come to us from the tragic sinking of the great ship Titanic . . . some are not as well known as others.
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellman'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 New York. To date, the largest shipment ever exported to Mexico.
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about the stuff, 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.
