Deriding the loaf as a holiday reject, he once claimed that, &The worst gift is fruitcake. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other& [source: ].In the next section, we'll look at the physical qualities of fruitcakes and find out why some people begin &feeding& their fruitcakes a year in advance of their gifting or consumption.
