Today in the mail I got a fruitcake from the company that I bought my water heater from. Yes, you read that correctly. I got a fruitcake. From the company that I bought my waterheater from. Um… okay…..
Being an expat is full of new experiences. A fruitcake is one of them. I’ve never actually seen a fruitcake in real life, let alone received one. So naturally I was curious if its reputation is as bad as its taste. Yep. It is.
I cut off the edge piece, popped it in my mouth and thought for all of 0.5 seconds, “Now come on, this isn’t so bad.” But then I felt the moisture get sucked from my mouth. Then a weird taste spread over my tongue. I felt my lips pucker in distaste. I bravely let the intro piece to fruitcake meet my stomach, but I promptly chucked the whole thing in the trash.
Thanks for nothing waterheater company. Merry Friggin Christmas to you too.
