Inflatable Fruit Cake
What could pass as a fruitcake but is better because you can't eat it? An inflatable fruitcake! No one wants to eat the real thing anyway; as long as you can blow air, the inflatable fruitcake offers the joy only a fruitcake could bring, year after glorious year. Practically a steal for only $9.50 (shipping included)! "This is the most perfect item ever created," declares the frighteningly enthusiastic dude in the commercial. You should listen to him.
The inflatable fruitcake comes from novelty gift shop Archie McPhee, also the creator of the inflatable toast mattress. [via The Presurfer]

A good fruitcake is a wonderful, joyful thing. Seeing this link that says you wouldn't want to eat it on a foodie website is kinda offensive. Let's do a fruitcake special and showcase the joys of this wonderful rich food.

Lighten up Horatio. We all have likes and dislikes. Fruitcake is something that is fun to make fun of. You know about the one and only that makes its way around the world. This site is all about food, but it's also about fun. I think the blow-up cake is a hoot. I'm not offended in the slightest. I can almost guarantee that SE will feature fruitcake and it's lovers and great recipes and photos, too. Me, not a fan, but nobody minds. Maybe one of the recipes will change my mind. I could leave out the fruit and just pour on the booze!

I'm not really actually offended. I just love fruitcake :P I'll see if can dig out my recipie. I do a fruitacke with manuka honey and about 15 kinds of fruit. Soaked with brandy it is an amazing thing to behold.

Inflatable fruitcakes sound like fun. I just love teasing my family and friends by eating a whole fruitcake in front of them. I used to keep one in my car during the winter months in case I got stranded. The store-bought things have a lot of calories (mainly sugar) and taste great when you're hungry. My granny used to leave one out when we went to visit because she was always at work when we got there. Good times!
