“Oh my, it’s fruitcake weather.”

Christmas is around the corner and in most parts of the world, fruitcake is abounding in ovens. In the next few days, you might be a recipient of this delightful annual winter treat. Perhaps you will think the person that gave it to you gave no thought to your present.

Either way, the fruitcake still gets no love thanks to Johnny Carson who famously quipped, “The worst gift is a fruitcake. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other.” If you care about the person that you are about to unload this fruitcake, please reconsider.

Fun Fact: Fruitcakes are always on the top ten lists as one of the most re-gifted items.
