Fruitcake Toss Day challenges us to chuck the fruitcake as far as you can. Many people receive fruitcakes as gifts sometime during the holiday season. Some people eat this holiday bread while others may re-gift them.
There are those who sneakily throw them away and others who will do so openly. These are the characters who have hoarded them, stored them and hid them so they can celebrate with a competition of sorts.
The first Great Fruitcake Toss was held in Manitou Springs, Colorado on January 3, 1996. Each year the entrants compete to see who can hurl or toss their fruitcakes the farthest.
If you want to host a fruitcake tossing competition, invite family to join you outside with their respective fruitcakes (please, just the unedible, over the date ones, food waste isn't fun) and take turns chucking them as far as they can.
