Re-gifting Down? Not For Fruitcake.
Online selling of unwanted gifts is up; so says survey paid for by eBay. But fruitcake remains re-gifted.
Fruitcake only got a 14% on your list? That must be because the people surveyed have never received one. 65% of those people who have received fruitcake plan to recycle it. Of those who have actually tasted a fruitcake, the number jumps to 95%. Experts agree that the other 5% either like fruitcake, or were lying.
