A fruitcake toss is an event in which people compete to see who can throw a fruitcake the farthest distance.
In some cases people may also compete by throwing their fruitcakes to see who throws the fruitcake the most accurately as well.
Fruitcake tosses are a quirky and fun competition that involves various categories and age groups, with some events even featuring challenges or "BasketCake" challenges.
The fruitcake toss event is often held in conjunction with National Fruitcake Toss day, which is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in January.
The core of the fruitcake toss is the act of throwing a fruitcake, with the goal being to achieve the maximum distance or accuracy.
And the events might also include different categories, such as distance, balance and accuracy, with some even incorporating "BasketCake" challenges in which people aim to throw the fruitcake into various sized baskets.
And some fruitcake toss events also have specific rules about the fruitcakes that are used, which require the fruitcakes to be a certain size, weight and made with standard fruitcake ingredients to ensure fairness and prevent cheating.
