4. Definitive proof of the nonexistence of God.
No benevolent deity would allow such an abomination to exist.

8. I don't mind the green and yellow stuff, if
it's in small proportion compared to the cherries and nuts. Sometimes the cake is just too damned dry.

Entenmanns isn't bad; but it's too bad that they're owned by moonies.

14. Portable black holes.
If you want to suck up all the light in a room, a fruitcake is just the ticket. The better ones will also provide a small portal into another dimension for your house pets. In fact, this may explain how cats can completely disappear from your house and then reappear when they hear the can opener -- they are using your fruitcake as an interdimensional wormhole.

17. Collect several,
group them in the center of your living room and throw a tasteful cloth over them for a coffee table which is also a clever conversation piece. Bonus: You won't mind if partygoers next summer spill rum punch all over it while getting boisterous.

18. Crumble it up and pave your driveway with it
It also makes good soundproofing material for your home studio.
