My great aunt's 'famous' pie crust was just a box mix

I found out at a family reunion in Spokane when my cousin let it slip. She said, 'Oh, she just used the Jiffy box from the pantry, same as everyone else.' I'd spent years trying to make it from scratch, feeling like I was missing some secret touch. What's a recipe your family swore was homemade that turned out to be store-bought?

My uncle's "secret sauce" was just ketchup and mayo mixed together.

Thought my grandma's meatloaf was special, turns out it was Stove Top.

Wait, did @the_sam just break the family code?
