Once, a long long time ago, when I was a kid, I wondered what the heck fruitcake was.

My grandmother had one sitting in a dish. I asked someone "what is this?", and they said "oh you've never heard of fruitcake, it's LOADED with nice stuff, fruit, raisins, and loads of other things".

I picked up the platter and nearly broke my arm. I said 'how much does this thing weigh??" Everybody laughed.

I took a taste. I hated it.

Never did it again. Never lifted one either. lol
