Are fortune cookies Chinese?
Clearly not. They are arguably more American (by way of Japan), judging by the way that people in China react to fortune cookies — with a mixture of confusion and amusement. As part of research for my book, The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, I went around China handing out fortune cookies to random people (my bellhop, people on the street, vendors) and recorded their reactions.

Yeah, I've always heard the fortune cookie was an American invention. AllIknowis is right. Now the Chinese will produce them by the billions. and the fortune will be printed with ink with toxic levels of lead...

OH GREAT! They've discovered our greatest culinary/marketing creations. Now they'll be ripping them off and selling them back to us for cheap. Way to go.
