A little over 100 years ago, the Emporer of Mexico, on a trip to England, found something he had never tasted before...He thought it so delicious that he felt his people should try it...
He ordered 50,000 cases of this sent to Mexico...
After returning home, he anxiously awaited it’s arrival....He was then notified that the shipment was lost. It was shipped on the Titanic....

he felt so bad, he declared a National Holiday for the people of Mexico..

That is how “Sinko da Mayo” came to be.......

I’ve always called it “Stinko de mayo”.
