Mexicans love mayonnaise. They ordered a huge shipment and a ship sailed from Europe with a full shipment of Mayonnaise. As it was crossing the Bermuda Triangle, it mysteriously began sinking.
The captain wired the shipping company in Europe, "we have run into a serious problem in the Bermuda Triangle, and ship is sinking". The captain was not good in Spanish, so he wired port authorities in Mexico, "Sinko De Mayo". Later on it was changed to Cinco de Mayo!

I Like Pico De Gallo, it is always available at Red Lobster here if you ask for it at no additional cost.

You know, Mexicans, at least in LA, put mayo on ears of corn, like this joke.

The traditional Mexican interpretation is “The rent is 5 days late”.

Mayo is good! I like it on all sandwiches. And I am not even from Mexico.

That reminds of a joke...the French general asked why the British soldiers wear red uniforms. The answer given to him was that it prevented panic among other soldiers if one of them was injured in battle and bleeding badly. The French general promptly ordered brown uniforms for his soldiers.

Actually, this festive day is a celebration of the current Mayor of Poopville (San Francisco), Mark Ferrell (shown below), who is affectionately known as "Stinky the Mayor". (And that is where the name of this festive day comes from.) ("Cinco de Mayo" means "Stinky the Mayor" in Mexiholic Spanish.)

I’m a Miracle Whip guy myself. I’ll eat the mayo if there’s no Miracle Whip, but I do prefer the salad dressing over mayo.

Hellman’s had something to do with it, although west of the Rockies it was Best Foods.

Good point. Miracle whip is less sour than Mayo.
