I’m not much of a history buff… mostly I’ve never been good with dates and names… but every now and again I find something really interesting and say to myself “I wish I knew more history because there’s some really cool stuff”…
For example, I never knew this:
In the early 1900s, most mayonnaise (or mayo), came from Europe.
In fact, when the Titanic left Europe, it was caring several hundred tons of mayo!
The people in Mexico were relying on the “fact” that the mayo was coming.
But, when the Titanic sank, they were very sad.
In fact, they were so sad that they made a holiday to remember the very sad occasion.
The named it, Cinco de Mayo.
{{ That’s not quite as bad as the joke someone told me yesterday….
Him: “Happy Star Wars day” Me: “huh?” Him: May the Fourth be with you
UGH}}
