Fortune Cookies.........

[MJMANDALAY]

Fortune cookies probably didn't arrive on Asian shores until 1993 -- and they weren't much of a hit. However, the cookies and their Confucius-inspired sayings have been a mainstay of Chinese-American dinners since World War II. While the cookie's origins aren't an ancient secret, some mystery surrounds exactly who invented the oracular dessert.

One theory asserts that a Japanese immigrant named Makoto Hagiwara created the cookies around 1915. Hagiwara was the landscaper and caretaker of the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, where he served the cookies with tea. At some point, nearby Chinese restaurants discovered the fortune cookies and added them as dessert.

Another cookie creation story also takes place in California. A Chinese immigrant named David Jung of Los Angeles claimed he invented the fortune cookie in 1918. Jung gave the cookies, which carried Bible verses inside, to the unemployed as inspiration. He later started the Hong Kong Noodle Company and sold fortune cookies.

Today, most fortune cookies are made by a factory in Queens, New York, a fact that makes this classic fortune a little less likely.

This is the worst thread on Wackbag I have ever opened and that includes the ones with fat black chicks sticking arms inside their vaginas.

<SMartin> Here's a good idea, when you're telling these little stories: have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener! </SMartin>

I like to play the game where you add "in bed" after the fortune to make it sound dirty.

I saved one because of this. It said:

"Good things come in small packages."

Has anyone noticed that the fortune cookie has moved away from fortune, but will be more of a profound statement cookie..

I just ate one and this is what I got: The course of life is unpredictable, no one can write their autobiography in advance.

I actually gave up eating fortune cookies for fear of a terrorist attack. Think about it....they plant some fuck into the factory in Queens, he puts a bunch of anthrax or plague into the cookie mix, the cookie gets sealed and shipped out all over the country.

Almost everyone will at least open the cookie, let alone chew on it a little. Hell of a way for the terrorists to get to us.....
