Fruitcake .... "The Other Cake" - a list by GetGoRetro

About this list:

Everyone makes fun of the fruitcake, but secretly I do believe everyone loves it. It's known to be "regifted;" has a reputation as being bought as a housewarming or christmas party -- "something to take" gift; and when thrown, packs a pretty good punch. Oh, and don't forget the crazy neighbor next door that everyone thinks is "a fruitcake." Why this poor cake has such a torrid reputation is quite perplexing. It's quite health, and actually .. it is good.

Qualifications:

I've had quite a few in my time.

Tell me... have you ever heard of a fruitless fruitcake. How can it be a fruitcake with no fruit?

Advertised as overflowing with an abundance of crunchy-sweet nuts, this delectable holiday cake puts a new spin on fruitcake!

Yep, kind of a fruitcake, but not the traditional kind. More apricots than anything else -- and a yummy apricot glaze. (via Figi)

Ahhh, a great fruitcake to put out on the table. You don't have to worry about anyone's grimy hands touching it, it's already wrapped and the worst your guests can do is pocket one to take home to the kiddies : ) (via Figi)

Faux Fruitcake

This is a "joke" gift if you are in to doing pranks. In other words ... you can't eat it! Faux fruitcake is deliciously realistic, yet made of inedible foam! A hilarious heirloom to “re-gift” for generations, the luscious look-alike includes 48-pg. book, “50 Uses for Your Fruitcake”, revealing endless tips and uses for this socially defamed treat.
