Fortune Cookie
 

I always save mine:

Tonight's read - You will enjoy true success in whatever you do. Hootie says - well isn't that comforting to know!

whenever i eat chinese food, i throw the fortune cookies away.

I throw the fortunes away and eat the cookie.

I just got this fortune yesterday:

"God will give you everything that you want."

Sounds good to me!

I never kept them, but on vacation last month, I got a good one, and I started keeping them (but only the really good ones)... I think it said something about me getting everything I want.

I always throw the cookie away.

Anyone ever add "in bed" after their fortune?? My friends and I always do that.

My fortune yesterday- You are the center of all social situations. :rolleyes: ;) :cool:

Yeah we always add the "in bed" part after reading the fortune cookie too! LMAO, makes for some great fortunes sometimes!

Anyone have any ritual for their fortune cookie eating?! Like do you read the fortune first? Do you eat the cookie and then read the fortune?

I always eat the cookie first and then read it. That way the cookie absorbs what I'm reading :p

I only save the really funny ones.

My favorite:

"You will be hungry soon. Order take-out now."

:p

sometimes I'll save my fortunes and put them in my ID window in my wallet. The one I have in there now says "good things come in small packages" because I'm kinda small and I thought it was cute. My ex-boyfriend's family does the "in bed" thing...doesn't really go with teh fortune I have saved though :D

My favorite is up on my PC monitor:

"Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together as they do in you..."

*sigh* So true, sooo true :cool:

For my elementary school graduation in grade 8 we went to a Chinese Buffet. The contest was to see how many fortune cookies you could eat without getting a repeat fortune. :D

I love eating fortune cookies. And I tend to save the ones that are the most meaningful to me. I once saved a fortune that said something like "The world would be a better place if there were less paperwork" and posted it on my corkboard at work. I once had someone tell a group of us that you're supposed to get the fortune cookie where the fold is pointing at u when arranged on a plate.

I'm not making this up:

Years ago I went into a McDonalds and ordered a special that was running at time: Chicken McNuggets Oriental. (Don't ask, you don't want to know, other than they were cheap.) They came with a fortune cookie, and the fortune read: Soon you will meet someone McSpecial. I groaned and gave it little more thought, other than to think that it was McHokey. Then a few weeks later, I met the lovely lady who is now Ms. MysticCat.

Speaking of Ms. MysticCat, we have a small framed fortune from a fortune cookie at our front door -- it says: You will attract cultured and artistic people to your home.

Has anyone noticed how often fortune cookies have no fortunes in them? Instead, they have good advice, proverby-type things. Grates on my nerves. I want a fortune, dagnabbit.

I keep one on my board-"Start believing in your dreams and others will catch the fever."

I got that fortune the night of an audition my freshman year of college. Sure enough, I ended up getting the lead in that show!

my parents got to have one tonight cause they went out to eat without me to one of my favorite chinese restraunts *sniff sniff*:(
Evil people lol

But I always eat mine and sometimes save my fortune if its cool.

i hate the cookie part. but the last fortune i read was "learn chinese" wtf?

My last fortune is still hanging on my fridge. It reads:

"You like Chinese food".

It's like the cookie read my mind.............

Friday Night mine was "You often bring happiness to others" awww

My last fortune read:

You are smart,
for you do things smartly

As for rituals, my college roommate and I always ate 1/2 the cookie, read the fortune, then ate the remaining 1/2 of the cookie. I don't know why- it was her idea.

The best fortune cookie I had was a couple years ago. My boyfriend and I always eat our fortune cookies together. We were having Valentine's Day dinner and he handed me a cookie and was like "here's yours". I opened it and there was a ring inside!! (not an engagement ring, just a ring).

My coworker recently proposed to his girlfriend using a GIANT fortune cookie. He ordered it online and had a custome fortune made that said "Will you marry me, [name]". He had a friend go in and put in the display case of desserts. Then he was like "hey, what's that? Do you want this?" But she was like, "No, I want cheesecake". So he ordered it. And then he had a heck of a time getting her to open it. Needless to say, she was surprised. :)

"The project you have in mind will soon gain momentum"

"you are almost there"

I once recieved one that read, "watch your back".

I once got a fortune that read:

"Confucius said: 'The Superior Man is not a utensil.'"
