Once upon a time A long long time ago when French settlers were visiting Mexico they brought along with them a strange condiment that nobody ever heard or seen in Mexico, it werse Mayonaise. They made a sandwich for the King of Mexico with Mayonaise on it. The King was extremely delighted about this new taste for the sammiches and loved it so much that he immediately ordered a shipload to be delivered to his country. He told his entire country about this wonderful condiment that made sammiches taste better than enchiladas. And they were all excited to taste this modern day miracle. The ship was due into Mexican port on May the 5th 1698 and just about the entire country was down at port that day to celebrate the arrival of the ship and the Mayonaise. Well unfortunately there werse a hurricane at sea and the ship sunk during the violent storm. When news reached the port in Mexico everyone there began to cry out in despair. The King not wanting to let the crowd leave completely saddened addresses the crowd and says This day will not be a sad day for us, in fact we will make it a national Holiday. And thus became the tradition of Cinco De Mayo And everyone lived Happily ever after
