There are several theories about the origin of fortune cookies. One such theory claims that fortune cookies are a purely American invention started by a Chinese (or Japanese) restaurant on the West Coast in the early 1900s. Some state it comes from Chinese history; Chinese rebelling patriots used to pass hidden messages in pastry to avoid getting caught. Others say it copies the Japanese tsujiura senbei (rice crackers with notes inside) treat.
China tried to popularize fortune cookies but it never caught on. Today, the biggest manufacturer of fortune cookies, Wonton Food, is located in New York and has been operating since 1973.

I don't know. I got a fortune cookie once and there wasn't a fortune in it. Someone took pity on me and gave me another cookie and it didn't have a fortune in it either.
That exact same thing happened to me once at a panda express. After eating I opened the cookie and nothing. Went back up and grabbed another one and nothing. Got something in the third one but at that point I had already taken the first two empties as a bad omen.

Load More Replies...Who Writes Funny Fortune Cookie Sayings?
If you want to make a prediction found in a fortune cookie funny, you need a master of the craft. Surprisingly, the author of funny fortune cookie quotes for Wonton Food isn't a professional writer. Donald Lau is the company’s chief financial officer, and according to his interview with CNN, he was given this job when the company was still small and he spoke the best English among all the employees.
He proved to have a great sense of humor and was the sole fortune cookie message writer for over 30 years. In his own words, Lau doesn’t see his fortunes as real predictions. They are just a fun way to finish a meal at a Chinese restaurant. Nevertheless, in his messages, Lau tries to combine humor with ancient Chinese traditions.

Scientifically it is stationery as darkness contains neither particles nor waves, as light does. Discuss. ;)
According to Terry Prazchett Darkness must be faster than light because it gets everywhere way ahead of light.
Load More Replies...Most of us already know that darkness is the absence of light, and that light travels at the fastest speed possible for a physical object. So, what does this mean? In short, it means that, the moment that light leaves, darkness returns. In this respect, darkness has the same speed as light.

One Of The Best Fortune Cookie Fortunes I’ve Ever Gotten
The story of the fortune cookie's lengthy journey is quite intriguing, as it involves a blend of myths, food, and culture.
Just as the hidden fortunes in cookies sparked curiosity, the intriguing tale of a mysterious box left behind by a notorious bank robber captures the imagination. Both stories remind us how ordinary objects can contain extraordinary surprises.
At a family reunion, we had a chocolate fountain and one of the things we had with it was fortune cookies. I didn't think they would have fortunes in them because of the chocolate but gagging down that slip of paper proved me wrong. The next cookie I had I made sure to open. It said "You probably ate your fortune"
I just got a fortune cookie saying, “ If you have a job without aggravations, you don’t have a job. Gee, thanks. (Definitely gonna keep this one)
