Claxton fruitcake was a tradition in my house growing up.
It killed me when fruitcake started to become a joke to some people. It damaged the economy in Claxton GA and made Claxton fruitcakes hard to find.
I've never found a fruitcake that wasn't hard.....
They are quite easy to find if you live down here in the south.
I see them in gas stations even.

I think the fruitcake jokes were just the start of the whole "anti-Christmas PC thing" that's been permeating our society for the past couple of decades.

Maybe they were used in the annual fruitcake toss. lol
