What would you put in a Fortune Cookie??

Post by pair8head »

The messages in fortune cookies are typically vague, banal and optimistic. But some cookies are now serving up some surprisingly downbeat advice.


“Today is a disastrous day. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” reads one fortune showing up around the country.

“It’s over your head now. Time to get some professional help,” advises another.

As the messages, contained in cookies made by Wonton Food in Queens, have spread across the country, some diners have registered their reactions online. As a result, the company has a marketing challenge on its hands.

The rest of the article........... http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/08/busin ... .html?_r=1

Ok so what would you put in a fortune cookie???

'That wasn't chicken' :lol:

Well, I was going to say "You really think those numbers are lucky?" but after reading the whole article and realizing they actually were, I got nothing. [smilie=noeyedear-shrugging.gif]

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar

Grandma just called and said you're supposed to go home.


Stay home and eat all the freakin' chips, Kip


I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.
