“We were talking the other day about why marriages nowadays don’t last as much as our parents’. Then I thought maybe this is the reason.

Back in the day, when our parents got married, they used to make those fruit cakes. The cake shops would design them, serve some to guests, and leave the rest for about one year. Then they would eat the remaining cake on their one-year anniversary.

Those cakes lasted long because they used things like alcohol to preserve them.

But now, people use butter ice cream cakes and things like that, and they don’t last. They can’t stay for one year.

To make it wor§e, some people don’t even make proper cakes anymore. They just design a big cake, but only a small part is actual cake that can be cut and shared. The rest is just a big plastic design.

So maybe that’s why marriages are not working now—because people don’t keep that cake for one year and eat it in 'their one year anniversary'. I don’t know."
