Fortune cookies are multi-purpose.
1. They feed you.
The cookie itself is something for you to enjoy. It doesn’t taste bad anyway. Not too sweet, kinda bland but nevertheless okay.
2. They give you encouragement.
Once I got a ‘fortune’ which said I was close to reaching my dreams. And I kinda felt it was true. At least I felt I was getting closer.
3. They surprisingly offer comic relief.
“Your charm is simply irresistible.”
Mark Sanchez, USC QB, lifts the trophy.
