Cool story.

It would have been a better story if it was a fruitcake that had been repeatedly "re-gifted" for the past 77 years . . . and was still just as good as the day it was made.

I see you don't understand fruit cake physics. The longer the fruitcake has had to age, the better it gets which is why fruitcake re-gifting is so popular. At some point it become so utterly delicious that people are afraid to break the aging process so it just keeps on aging.

I was gonna say, "That ain't sayin' much."

They say either osmium or iridium is the most dense substance.  I was gonna throw in fruit cake as a tie breaking candidate.  Good doorstop.
