Everyone in New Orleans eats king cakes at Mardi Gras time. You don't eat the "baby" so it's not that weird. Usually, whoever gets the baby has to bring the next cake. Beans were traditionally used, but the FDA banned beans as unsafe a long time ago. The plastic baby was substituted because they are cheap imports.
