In Mexico Cinco de Maya is the celebration of the victory of the Mexican army over the French in the battle of Puebla, mostly military parades. In the US many think it the celebration of Mexican Independence but that's on Sept 16 but Cinco de Maya is a holiday created by the liquor distributors to enhance their sales by encouraging people to drink more. They've been very successful at that.

Very sharp man you are Gene. Encouraging sales is true. The De Beers cartel successfully advertised diamonds to manipulate consumer demand in the same fashion. The cartel employed "A Diamond Is Forever" in the 40's I believe, along with the "eternity ring", etc. Huge monopoly for sure. Since then the diamond is the "engagement ring" to be had, or I should say, to have.

On this month 100 years ago, administrators at the institution that would become Texas A&M University canceled graduation ceremonies – the only time ever in the history of the campus – and released all seniors for active military duty as the country went to war against Germany. And, they all went.
