Probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between it and a 106-hour old fruitcake.

It beats the fruitcakes in DC which are nauseating and filled with $hit.

This has got to be fake news as there is no such thing as an edible fruit cake.

Fruitcake is never edible whether day 1 or day 38,690. On the positive side, I don’t think that it decomposes, though.

“Let’s get Mikey to try it. He’ll eat anything...”

Can we surmise only a fruitcake would try to eat a 100-year-old fruitcake?

106 year old Fruitcake? Just add another gender identity to the list.

Some relative probably gave it to Capt. Scott after it had already passed through a number of families at Christmas time. Probably thinking we’ll never see this bloody thing again. Could make a good sci-fi/horror movie out of this. The Return of the Fruitcake.

I bet this was from the failed Scott expedition around that time.

So, even faced with starvation and death, people still won’t eat fruitcake.

Collins Street Bakery makes a good fruitcake. I don’t understand why the bad press for fruitcakes.

Scurvy caused by lack of vitamin C would have been a serious concern. The candied fruits in fruitcake would have gone a long ways towards helping prevent this. And Fruit cakes are edible for at least a year or even longer if soaked with alcohol which was popular at the time.

Fruitcake would have been very practical on this expedition.

My mother’s Christmas fruitcakes were great. She’d make a couple each year. One was eaten right away...the other hung around awhile and I was usually the only one that ate it. Like a fine wine, it aged gracefully. The older it got, the more it turned into a large, sweet, fruit-filled candy bar. I’m not sure it would’ve lasted 106 years.

I miss Mom and her fruitcakes.

“106-year-old Antarctic fruitcake found”

Normally they don’t live that long.
I wonder how many boyfriends he has had in 106 years?
