Not-So-Tasty-Cakes

Okay, back to frivolous and ridiculous topics for posts. This post is based on an actual conversation my friends and I had some time ago. It was late, after a hockey game, there was probably beer involved.....

We somehow landed on the topic of urinal cakes. That's right, the pink, deodarizing, cylindrical thingies placed in men's room urinals to make them smell better and provide a target. Someone mentioned that such a product should not be labeled a cake because cakes are edible and delicious. (I submit that a urinal cake is neither.) Cupcake? Fine. Crab cake? Yummy. Birthday cake? Awesome. Urinal cake? Disgusting.

After much discussion (seriously) the only other inedible cake we could come up with was the soapcake and then we decided the urinal cake should be known as a urinal puck. So, I need some info: What else are urinal cakes called? What would be a better name? And for the sake of trivial discussion, are we missing any inedible cakes?

P.S. If the brain power of this group of friends could be harnessed for good instead of silliness we could change the world.

Don't forget the patty-cake. Not at all edible.

Although a pancake would be lovely right about now.

Interesting conversation you intellectuals have from time to time. :)

Well, you've named the cakes, don't forget about the pies... you can't eat a cowpie, or you could, I guess... How about Urinal biscuit, that would open up a whole new world of 'food to pee on'. Did you know that in some foreign countries the makers of urinals put a fly ( like the bug type of fly) shaped bump in the mold od the urinal to give guys something to aim at? crazy europeans.

Heh, did anyone else get the little pun J left in his post? Crazy Europeans? Heh.
