A fruitcake is a geological homemade cake. -- Charles Dickens
- If laid end-to-end, all the fruitcakes exchanged in one holiday season would stretch around the equator, causing the majority to sink like lead in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
- The United States city with the largest fruitcake consumption per capita is Worms, Nebraska.
- Each recycled fruitcake circumnavigates the globe an average of 27 times before it ends up in the hands of someone who will actually eat it. Aficionados call this "aging" and claim it enhances the flavor.
- You can't make a cat eat fruitcake.*
- The ancient Egyptians considered fruitcake an essential food for the afterlife. When interviewed, most Americans agreed, stating that they, too, would rather die before eating it.
