    Interesting, I always assumed that the fortune cookie was an invention made from scratch by Chinese immigrants to the U.S. Looks like there’s a bit more to the story about its actual origins/inspirations:

    Although some argue that fortune cookie might actually invented by Chinese American in CA. So the verdict is still out.
