Fruitcake
I like fruitcake.
In fact, I love fruit cake.
There, I said it! I don't care who knows.
It's good stuff. The candied fruit, the goo. I don't know if there is alcohol in there or not but who cares. There is also some kind of bread based substance in there between the chunks, but it is the goo that holds the thing together.
In early November, I came home from Wal-Mart and proudly proclaimed "I bought my first fruitcake of the season!" Mrs Plaid then noticed there was no expiration date on the packaging. Go figure.

Things You Probably Didn't Know You Could Do With A Fruitcake
Paint a few white and place them outside on the grass so people won't park on your lawn
Use it as building material. (This is actually what the Ancient Egyptians used to build the Great Pyramids)
Keep one under your pillow for home defense
Send one to the junk mail company with a note asking them to take you off their list
It's colorful ... use it as a Yule Log
Carve the Presidents' faces in it and submit as a science or art project
Give one to your boss and tell him it's a life preserver
Use it as a base for flower arrangements
Donate to the local airport for use as airliner wheel blocks
Grind a few up and give it back to your in-laws in a bag marked "lawn fertilizer"
For a community project, sink a few in the ocean and build an artificial reef
Tie one to each foot when you walk through deep snow to keep your feet dry0 -

I like fruitcake.
Back in the '70's a friend of the family was a truck driver. He had a load of cases of desserts to go in MRE packages. After delivering them and he got home, there were several cases left in his trailer. It was during deer season, so he brought us a bunch of them. IIRC it was pineapple cake, cherry cake and fruitcake. They were all good.[:D]0 -
