The Womper Woom OR You Might Be A Modwomper

Jesus is just a little plastic doll figurine. I have suspect this for sometime, thanks for confirming!

It used to be a bean. Whoever got the bean became the King/queen of the next party. I've seen dolls, beans, rings, nut, coins in cakes.

Sounds like a choking hazard to me. Can't believe "Public Health" hasn't had a hissy fit about it.

Actually Andria, they do not bake it inside the cake anymore. It comes separate and you have to 'hide' it under the cake. That said, I CANNOT believe almost all the cake was eaten and not one person picked the slice with the baby under it.
@chopdoc the King Cake vape came in today. I'll have to let it steep for a bit but will let you know how it is.

Yep, I heard thru the centuries they used many things. Surprised you could remember back that far

All I remember is the baby but it wasn't plastic and it was baked in the cake. That doesn't mean there weren't other things back then. This was about 50 years ago. Yes I am getting old. Lol

I lived in Bayou Liberty as a kid. Poor people make their own king cake and put whatever they want in them. I remember one had a Monopoly car in it. Pretty sure that was unsafe.

They only had on baby Jesus so the one who got it had to bake it in the cake the next time?

Think of age as a fine wine. It only gets better with time!!

Yes, exactly.

Yes, exactly.

It probably started out being made of silver or gold I would suspect.
Times were tougher and not everyone could afford a baby Jesus

True.

It was likely a privilege to be the keeper of the Baby Jesus till the next cake time.

It's considered good luck. Today's joke:

But he had a light complexion and blonde hair?

I need some 510 connectors.

Varitube or fatdaddy?

ROFL... that always cracked me up too -- that the REAL Jesus probably looked more like Yasser Arafat than goldilocks with a beard!
