Lightbulb The green thingeys are

dyed cherries. Instead of the hot pink of marachino, they dye them green.

Sometimes pineapple bits are dyed too. You never know with fruitcake.
(that is why there are jokes about people being fruitcakes! LOL)

It is my impression that the raisins/grapes cause kidney damage...that would
not be apparent right away, but with time.

I have a cat that loves whipped cream... sometimes I put whipped cream on
fruitcake..makes it better. My husband LOVES fruitcake so we always have
some on the holidays. But I can't imagine a cat wanting fruitcake!
