Nope. Definitely DO NOT like fruitcake! How do fruitcake manufacturers stay in business, considering the fact that I've never heard of anyone actually liking the stuff? Maybe people keep trying it, hoping to develop a taste for it; I know I've done that more than once, but just can't get past those dreadful candied fruits.

"it makes me want to yack" - yessir, that pretty much sums it up.
What comedian was it - George Carlin, maybe? - who said he thought there was really only one fruitcake in existence and it just kept getting regifted year after year after year. If I ever get a hold of it, I know just who to give it to - an ex-neighbor who likes to "exchange gifts" with me every year so she can get something new and give away something she already has and doesn't want. She doesn't even bother to make the boxes look unopened anymore. I've told her we really don't need to exchange gifts any longer and that she can just send us a card if she so desires and her answer was "I hate cards. I'd rather give you something." Apparently it's too much effort to just throw the unwanted item away or to say, "Hey, do you want this roasting pan/CD/bath soap I didn't want?"

I don't know how they stay in business. Many people will regift their fruitcake the next year, and pass it on to someone else.
Maybe the government is funding the fruitcake companies.
