~ CINCO DE MAYO TRIVIA ~
One of the most important holidays of the people of Mexico, Cinco De Mayo has since been adopted as a favorite of Americans everywhere who love to celebrate with great Mexican food, drink, and music. Here’s a quick bit of background for those who may not be quite familiar with the popular holiday’s origin.
- Cinco de Mayo honors Mexico’s important and unexpected triumph over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in May 1862. The victory of a largely untrained, ill-equipped army of Mexican soldiers over an extremely disciplined, well-armed French army could have been foreseen by noone! France invaded Mexico in an attempt to secure repayment of money previously borrowed by Mexico.
- Although the celebrated battle of Cinco de Mayo's origin was fought and won in 1862, Mexico did not succeed in fully defeating the French Army and forcing them to exit the country until 5 years later, in 1867.
- In Mexico, the holiday is called “El Día de la Batalla de Puebla” (The Day of the Battle of Puebla). Puebla hosts a battle reenactment each year. The holiday is celebrated in the state of Puebla, but not widely commemorated elsewhere in Mexico.
- Cinco De Mayo is not the same as Mexican Independence Day - a separate holiday established more than 50 years before (1810) Cinco De Mayo’s Battle of Puebla. Mexican Independence day is celebrated on September 16th.
- The United States has more than 54 million residents who are of Mexican origin, according to the 2013 United States Census Bureau.
- Guacamole is hugely popular today, with the California Avocado Commission estimating that Americans use about 87 million pounds of the green fruit in their Cinco de Mayo meals.
- Americans spend about $2.9 billion annually on margaritas, which account for about 14 percent of the country’s cocktail sales. Bloomberg reports that skyrocketing lime costs now make the lime juice in the drink more costly than the tequila. Cinco de Mayo is the biggest day for margarita sales, Bloomberg reports.
