That totally blows my theory that there is only one fruitcake in existence that just keeps getting passed back and forth....

Man, that's one tough fruitcake. I had no idea they could even last THAT long.

YUM!

I also loved the fruitcake story. I'm glad you shared it, especially now that it has been given a final resting place.

I enjoyed the pictures, too. It's fascinating to see what happened to the tin.

Jessica said...

R.I.P. dear fruitcake. We hardly knew you.

Thank you dear Magpie for capturing the viewing in photos so we can all pay our respects.

The picture on that tin? Could it be worse than the fruitcake itself? I think so.

Not only did I go look, but I couldn't stop myself from looking at every single photo.

I like what I have in my head, LOL.

Sadly, that's only slightly less appetizing than a fresh fruitcake.
