No, that's not my age. I'm referring to this story about a rum-laced cake that survived in an attic from 1962 to now, and looks about the same as it did then!
WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) -- Lance Nesta did what many people do when receiving a fruitcake - he set it aside, only to rediscover it more than 40 years later in his mother's attic. Nesta couldn't resist taking a peek at the cake, still in its original tin and wrapped in paper.
"I was amazed that it hadn't changed at all," he said.
Nesta's two aunts sent him the fruitcake in November 1962 while he was stationed in Alaska with the Army.
