That's rather a "warning cookie", not "fortune".
As a guy with chinese background, I really have no clue where the heck fortune cookie came from. It's probably an invention from Chinatown outside Asia. People would be luaghing their asses off or just felt funny that chinese invented this cookie.
If it meant to give you fortune, it should've say something like "you'll get $10000 today".
From the "oracle of the 21st Century" Wikipedia "San Francisco and Los Angeles both lay claim to the origin of the fortune cookie. Makoto Hagiwara of Golden Gate Park's Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco is said to have invented the cookie in 1909,[1] while David Jung, founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company in Los Angeles, is said to have invented them in 1918.
San Francisco's Court of Historical Review ruled in 1983 in favor of San Francisco. Although the court was presided over by a Federal judge, the court itself has been criticized as being less than serious and biased in favor of San Francisco. Its conclusions, therefore, might not be the final word on the subject,,,,This Moment in History! brought to you by DewayneinSD ;)
Jimmy - I KNOW, right? They always seem so judgmental these cookies. lol xo L, J.
DeWayne - WOW. I LOVE knowing shit like that! That makes me want to write a song called "Fortune Cookie." lol... Thanks! xo L, J.
what's even worse is i don't even like the taste anymore. they should've been made available at some psychic teller's room not the restaurant. imagine seeing "death warnings" after you had your meal.
Randomness: So I treated some out of town family from Mexico to a night of Chinese food. Towards the end of the night we get the bill along with our fortune cookies. We each open ours up and I'm asked to translate their fortune to spanish. I do so and proceed to eat my own cookie after having read my own fortune. My relatives look in dismay. They explain to me that in Mexico it's bad luck to eat your fortune cookie! Crazy right? Is this why my fortunes haven't been coming true ..in bed ?
Jimmy - Death cookies. lol Sounds like something out of Star Wars. xo L, J.
Flip - OMG. How funny! LOL... I've always said it was bad luck to eat anything in Mexico ...in bed! :-P xo L, J.
At least they don't have rats running around in Mexican restaurant's kitchen like chinese....
