    During this time of year, for many of us, one of the anticipated (or dreaded) tradition is to get or give (as a re-gift?) the ubiquitous Holiday Fruitcake?
    But how much do you know (or care) about that Fruitcake -- which might be anchoring Auntie's Christmas tree?
    Accordingly, for tonight's Net, can you poke out the correct answer for each of the three Fruitcake question that follow?
    Please choose from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B",  or "C" (if applicable!) for each questions listed below.
    Good Luck and remember YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
    OK, Let's start poking, poking at those nuts and fruits -- yes, that means you too, Harry!
