WASHINGTON — WTOP has many hard and fast traditions: journalistic integrity, a commitment to our listeners and readers, destroying Christmas baked goods.

WTOP’s Brennan Haselton has destroyed fruitcakes in a number of ways. Let’s take a walk down memory lane. Fruitcakes have lost against:

• A table saw
• A drill press (like a hot knife through butter)
• A bench grinder
• Gravity
• A snow plow.
• An assault rifle.

The list goes on. Watch this video from 2010 below.
