"You can't have your cake and eat it too" never sat right with me. What's the point in having cake if you can't eat it?

I eventually learned that the original saying was, "You can't eat your cake and have it too", which makes a lot more sense and gets the message across better. I have no idea why it was changed.
This has also been a big one for me. Even when I was little, I knew the expression simply just didn't make sense.

That being said, the original saying DOES make more sense. It not being used that way anymore is weird, >.<
