Why do Mexicans mourn on Cinco de Mayo?

We’ve all heard of the sinking of the Titanic right?

The tragedy that took the lives of hundreds of passengers?

But another tragedy took place on that same ship on this same date.

Along with the souls aboard the HMS Titanic bound for New York,

She carried in her belly a massive shipment of gourmet Mayonnaise from France.

The Mayonnaise was bound for the eastern port of Tampico, Mexico.

Then, the unthinkable happened.

And while history remembers the lives lost on that fateful day,

The proud Mexican people will forever remember that day as…….

Sinko de Mayo.
