Lansing State Journal: Schneider: Lansing family can’t have cake and eat it, too _ I’m guessing that the nutritional value was about the same.
Kavalaris, who lives in Delta Township, described what he and his mother gazed upon: “Bubbles of the same stuff used as packing material were all over the plate, the knife and what was left of the frosting …”
Beneath the edible icing, the cake, bought at Sam’s Club at Eastwood Towne Center, was pure Styrofoam.

$100 gift card!!!!!!!!!!!! That put a smile on his face!!!
A good punch line to this story would be…
Somewhere in an L.A. hospital, some middle-aged woman is waking up from anesthesia saying, “My new breast implants almost feel like cake!”
Sams made right, check.
Customer donates gift card to those who need it more, check.
Feel good story for the holidays, check.
Good on ya, all around.
I love that! Can’t have your cake and eat it too! It’s like saying to someone, “follow my comment guidelines” and then that person who created the guidelines, violates them at the very same time he is criticizing someone else for violating them. Except in that case apparently, you can have your cake and eat it too.
Okay, please delete the rest after you’ver read this, because the rest clearly violates your guidelines, but I did want to apologize to you….
I have found your guidelines and I do see that I went off topic, which is a no-no. I won’t go off topic again (you can help me here by deleting these extra comments which, are of course off-topic).
Oh, FYI, ALL CAPS is a violation of the guidelines, so you might want to go and re-edit your ALL CAPS comments when you deleted my off-topic comments in that Squirrel nut thread.
Costco’s bakery is better, anyway.
Sounds like someone was sold a display cake by accident. It’s still teh funny.
Sam’s Club… A subsidiary of Mall Wart… It figures. I wonder if it was made in China.
But it sure was cheap, and that’s all that matters!
I’ll bet it is still better than that damn fruit cake.
Sams, Walmart, Costco….IF you really want to know.
When is cagematch going to come backup??
Sam’s Club’s cake slogan: Save on your heating bill… insulate yourself with our Styrofoam cakes!
Bon Appétit!
#7 Mall Wart
I’ll have to remember that one. 😀
Free cake, apology, gift card.
That’s the way you handle mistakes.
Next time I poison someone, I’ll have to remember that a free cake, an apology, and a gift card is ENOUGH already!
John,
Such a hypocrite. Apology above is clearly off topic. Why don’t you remove the post? Ahhhh, cause it strokes your big fat ego. But you’ll surely delete this one, because it offends that same bloated ego.
Either the guidelines apply or they don’t.
Is this post enough to ban my ass? I’m hoping to be #7 on your list.
#14. Jerry, if you truly believe that John has the time to read and moderate every single comment in this blog you’re an idiot. That’s why he uses minions such as myself.
LOL – good response SN
Was this cake on of those “your parents put it together” deals?
