Something that bothers me about fortune cookies is that they aren’t “fortune” cookies anymore, they are “Advice Cookies”. Below are a few examples of what I’m talking about…

These are not fortunes!
If I’m not mistaken, a fortune is telling someone what will happen in the future such as…
“You win lottery in next life.”
“Children will come and be bane of your existence.”
“Boss hate your next proposal.”
“You will lose hair during next wash.”
“Spouse will knee groin. Many pains come.”
“New husband lack sense and make you very poor.”
“You will experience a very pathetic event in the near future.”

Maybe I should start my own fortune cookie business because it’s clear that the Advice Cookies they put out today are pathetic.

…you eat a lot of fortune cookies. I used to keep all the fortunes (and mine were luckily legitimate, haha) and they’d get lost in the washing machine.
But the advice about oranges. I should take it more often. Live long and prosper, with uncommon sense.

I had chinese food today for lunch, and remembered to tell you! That is shocking to me, given my typically awful memory. Anyway, I had fried chicken/ fried rice and an egg roll. Let me just say it was delicious. 🙂 My ‘fortune’ wasn’t really a fortune, as previously discussed….
It said “Now is the time to set your sights high and go for it”. Advice cookies for sure. 🙂

Those advice cookies are PATHETIC. I think you should write your own!

Cynic that I am, my guess is that the change from “fortune” to “advice” came about because some charmer or other received a £$£$£$£$ payout after successfully suing someone or other because whatever the cookie said would happen, didn’t…

this is possible. But still, all they have to do is hire some pathetic person like myself and let me write them. It would save them a lot of money because I come cheap.

I know! it’s really pathetic and needs to change. I actually have a favorite chinese restaurant that I go to regularly and once asked if I could have a REAL fortune cookie instead of an advice cookie. My waitress looked at me like I was from another planet. – LOL
I have no idea who makes the cookies or where the sayings inside the cookies come from, but I think it’s time we revolt and start sending them back.

I was always wondering if the numbers (in the fortune cookie) were the winnng numbers in a lottery somewhere. Now that would be useful information.

I found the way to never lose. Don’t buy a ticket. It is a voluntary tax and since there is choice in the matter I don’t pay the tax.

My wife and I were just talking about this the last time we had take-out! If I wanted “advice cookies” I’d read the stupid memes on Facebook! Although I do like the sarcastic fortune cookies you posted.
