Friday Funny. And Learning!

Fortune Cookie

I got this in a fortune cookie today.

Blogger humor resulted in me thinking it was hilarious, and I laughed out loud right there in the middle of the Chinese buffet.

People looked at me like I’d lost my mind.

For whatever reason this got me to wondering just how they get these things inside the cookie.

Fortunately, Google and the Library of Congress came to the rescue with this great article, “How do fortunes get inside of fortune cookies?”

You can’t tell me you knew that the Kitamura FCM-8006W fortune cookie making machine can produce 8,000 fortune cookies an hour.

See what you can learn here? ;)

  • Jay - Too funny - only someone with a great blog would get this in their fortune cookie. Good thing your not sensitive or superstitious.

  • That is hilarious. But you've just proven that you can't put your trust in fortune cookies. :)

  • LOL This is tooooo funny! Love it!~
    But I've never gotten such a depressing and mean fortune cookie! LOL
  • So did you play the numbers? Will you become a believer when your next fortune is "Everyone reads your blog!" - - because they do! Your are my inspiration for utilizing social media!
  • A few years ago I almost bought several cases of fortune cookies from a vendor to "give" to the local chinese resturants. I didn't do it but I do think it was a great idea to have cookies with "You will buy your dream house from Greg. and my website www.GregoryBain.com - can't seem to locate the vendor right now. But, I'll look around and if I do find them, I'll post to your blog. I think they were advertising in the Realtor mag and I was into marketing myself.
  • That is a riot.

    I'm not superstitious, but....I got the same lottery number in two different fortune cookies from two different restaurants over a couple day period and I have been playing them ever since. I'll let you know if they ever pay off.
  • Oh, look at that. The master has the advertisement for the company right there on his Ads by Google with a link to www.e-fortunecookie.com

    I still think it's a neat idea - but, I am too cheap to supply the local chinese resturant with cookies. Has anyone else here done it and recommends it?
  • Your so funny, good to see a personal sense of humor on blogs, some people out there are just too serious...
  • Hey Jay,

    Good find. That's just priceless. If you like that, you might enjoy stuff white people like dot com. It's a really funny site for the most part.

  • Been reading your blog awhile now and you have a lot of good information so pretty sure this fortune isn't true but funny. Thanks for the humor.
  • Oh that is so great! To think, of all the people to get that message in their fortune cookie, you would! I wonder how many were made with that message? And 8,000 cookies and hour? That is really impressive....
  • LOL! Oh that gave me a great chuckle! And I had no idea that many fortune cookies were made in an hour!
  • That was a great laugh, thanks for sharing! What a nice bit of trivia to break out later. Who would have ever guessed that many forturne cookies NEEDED to be made in an hour, let alone that they could be made that quickly!

  • Your fortune begs the question, "How did they choose those 'lucky numbers?" I wonder if Google will solve that one for us! [grins]

  • how funny. are blogs so common now that they are in fortune cookies?? well I guess so since you got one.

  • LOL! this is just one in a million cookie. good thing here is you captured it and post it here. Now, if thousands of people by chance got into your website and see this, they may think that fortune cookie is not true.
  • Some fortune cookie! LOL! This was hilarious. I really haven't trusted fortune cookies.
  • 8,000 fortune cookies in an hour? Wow! And I wonder what the odds are that you would get the one that says "No One Reads Your Blog", lol!
