The postcard mailed on a Betty Crocker box mix of gingerbread amuses me the most because I have experienced family members doing this same thing on multiple occasions. My aunt is the most common perpetrator, with her hawaiian cake being nothing more than angel food cake from the grocery store with whipped cream, pineapple, and coconut on it. Someone who would do this is the type of person who concerns themselves with "keeping up with the Joneses". Hopefully the author of this postcard will admit to whoever wants the recipe that it's just a box mix to save themself the embarrassment of the person finding it out themselves, as I did, when I saw the box from the angel food cake in the garbage.

I think this card is really funny. People are really secretive about recipes, and it's funny to think that this might be why.
