This video answers the question: “What would happen if you shoot a frozen fruitcake at a van?” It comes to us from the esteemed Institute for Fruitcake Research, Unintended Technology and Experimentation, or I.F.R.U.I.T.E., at Virginia Wesleyan College. In this experiment, Doctors Edward Clark and Cameron McDonald investigate the destructive effects of firing fruitcake at a test vehicle. Remember, don’t try this at home. These are trained professionals.
Things to consider
- Planning to travel this holiday season? In 2005, CBC News announced that fruitcake is a security threat. In fact, they said if you try to bring a fruitcake onboard an airplane, expect it to be X-rayed because they are dense and could hide a weapon. This restriction is still in effect today. No kidding? I’ve always believed that the fruitcake itself was the weapon. In fact, you could kill someone with a fruitcake, easy.
