The bulletproof vest manufacturer BulletSafe likes to test its products against an assortment of other potentially bulletproof materials from time to time.
They have tested out Thanksgiving foods for their ability to stop a .50 caliber round with interesting results. Now they've tested fruitcake with similarly interesting results.
Apparently, fruitcake is bulletproof. Or, at least, 5 fruitcakes stacked back to back are bulletproof.
"Oh yeah!" the BulletSafe host said. "Folks, fruitcake is the first food item we've ever shot that stopped a bullet. It's a much maligned holiday treat, people. Nobody talks highly of fruitcake but I tasted it and it tastes OK! And it stops bullets."
"So, if you want to stockpile something for the apocalypse, maybe fruitcake is the answer."
