Fruitcake: Yay or nay?

Yeah, it is a love it or hate it taste. It's a texture thing too, it's pretty thick. I look forward to it each year but won't be having any fruitcake with it...ever.

Especially when you put extra nog in it *hicup*
That made me laugh. (And I don't drink!)

I hear ya that made me drink when I don't laugh :rofl:
I'm not surprised. I don't know WHAT I'd do with it if someone actually gave me one as a gift. I mean, I'd do what I always do when I receive a gift, I'd express gratitude--but I'd have to feign happiness. I'm not sure I'm that good an actor, though. :hmmmm: And then I guess I'd use it as a doorstop.still, i seriously wonder why some people still gift fruit cake. one year someone gave us one, and i think it was sitting in our fridge for over a year

You should have given it back to them the next Christmas lol.
Re-gifting! A perfect idea for fruitcake. :rofl:You should have given it back to them the next Christmas lol.

Yes, yes it can.
I say, if you are going to give someone any sort of weapon for Christmas then don't cheap out, just get them a 'ready made' weapon. A good weapon is not like a tub of Sea Monkeys, you shouldn't have to wait for it to grow. Seriously, when you need to use your Christmas weapon it should be always at the ready, not sitting on shelf half-lifeing and maturing.

Ship them to Stinky. His minions eat anything.
I don't actually know what its half-life is, but I'm guessing around 100 years? :hmmmm2:

It can be weaponized. You use a good-sized catapult.
I don't think our damn carpet beetles would even touch it.

I was thinking the same thing. The density of fruitcake should allow it to penetrate castle walls no problem.

There are fruitcakes and there is another fruitcake. Im baking that another fruitcake later today Now keeping raisins in rum, then adding cherries and pieces of fruits to the dough, pouring the rest of the rum that is left over from raisins into the dough, put the cake into an oven and waiting to get the first bite

Legend has it, the ancient Norsemen created fruitcake to resemble the Bifrost, and offered it to Odin as homage.
It was later discovered the Asgardians were using this material to actually power the Bifrost and many forms of their magic / technology.
So yes it can actually be weaponized. The sheer density of the material allows it to directly absorb gravitational energy and create anti-mater. Once the anti-matter comes in contact with Newtonian matter the two annihilate each other with a release of energy proportional to the combined matter / anti-matter mass.
So be weary, never combine two loaves of fruitcake. The resulting annihilation could be catastrophic!

So what you're saying is that at the center of every black hole lies a cosmic fruitcake? Works for me.

I continue to be amazed at the science and astronomy breakthroughs that are discovered right here on AF. Pretty damn impressive, if you ask me.So what you're saying is that at the center of every black hole lies a cosmic fruitcake? Works for me.

I could actually use a few fruitcakes. The way the ground slopes at the front of my garage, if it rains really heavily some water seeps into the garage. If I line the floor just inside the door with fruitcakes, that should keep the garage dry for a few centuries (that stuff can probably absorb gallons of water per crumb of cake - assuming that anyone has tools actually capable of breaking crumbs off the cake) and save me the cost of regrading the concrete.
I really have nothing against fruitcake (or panetone) - I like the cakes. I can't stand the candied fruit - it's like chewing sugared tires. Why can't they make a candied pineapple core cake?
