 A Montgomery County grandma said she's heard from people across the globe after she shared images of her baking bread in the mailbox. It has spread like fire, but is it true?

If the story is too good to be true, it's because it is. Roberta says while she shared photos of herself baking bread in the mailbox, it was all in fun.

It's a lesson this grandma said isn't only found in her mailbox, but in the pages of her new book, '"Out of this World Granny."

TL;DR version: No.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
to bake bread with a nice brown crust in 45 minutes would take temperatures around 350 degrees or even higher. You decide.

(paper ignites at 451 degrees...)

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
