Here is a picture of a German chocolate cake. If you have doubts about your own reality, eat some of this. It might not prove you exist, but you'll feel quite real, and that is as much as anybody can ask. And here is the Bay Breeze Bakery Company's website, where I found the cake.
The more you eat, the more you exist.

Yes. I think they do. I'm fading as we speak.
