| - Cinco De Mayo is the 15th episode of Season 2 of Basket Sponge. It is the 36th overall episode of the series.
- Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday similar to America's New Years Eve, except it's celebrated all day long and not just the last hour of the day. There is lots of drinking, so it may even be the Mexican version of Purim.
- A Mexican celebration of a historical victory, often celebrated in the US as a sort of "Mexico Day".
- Cinco de Mayo, which as the literal translation suggests, occurs on the 5th of May, is a Mexican holiday. The day celebrates the victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza over the French occupational forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The holiday is widely celebrated amongst the Hispanic populace in the United States of America as well. In 1997, Sesame Street observed the holiday in Episode 3646, with Big Bird receiving a visit from his cousin Abelardo.
- Cinco De Mayo - On May 5th, 1862, the French army was defeated by the Mexicans attempting to prevent the establishment of a French puppet state by Napoleon III, who would use the erstwhile Maximilian I of Mexico as his stooge. The unlikely victory by the Mexicans over the French at Puebla slowed the intervention, eventually forcing the end of the Second Mexican Empire. The victory at Puebla, however, may also have saved the United States - it was no secret that Napoleon III was eager to recognize the Confederacy, and a Mexican puppet state may very well have granted him the power to do so.

| - Cinco De Mayo - On May 5th, 1862, the French army was defeated by the Mexicans attempting to prevent the establishment of a French puppet state by Napoleon III, who would use the erstwhile Maximilian I of Mexico as his stooge. The unlikely victory by the Mexicans over the French at Puebla slowed the intervention, eventually forcing the end of the Second Mexican Empire. The victory at Puebla, however, may also have saved the United States - it was no secret that Napoleon III was eager to recognize the Confederacy, and a Mexican puppet state may very well have granted him the power to do so. This TL explores the What if? scenario of a French victory at Puebla on May 5th, 1862, and the subsequent foreign support of the Confederacy, and the sustained power of Napoleon III's Second French Empire.
