Can Fortune Cookies really tell the future

Can Fortune Cookies REALLY  the future?

 Fortune cookies are uniquely shaped cookies that are simply made with flour. sugar, oil, and either vanilla or almond flavoring. Each cookie has a slip of paper with a prediction of the future, a Chinese word or phrase, or a list of lucky numbers.
 Even though fortune cookies are found in almost every Chinese restaurant, in China, you won't see them very often, if not at all. In fact, the Chinese weren't even the ones who created fortune cookies.
 The debate of who created fortune cookies still lives on, with many people who are creating new theories for it.
 One belief is that a Japanese immigrant named Makato Hagiwara first served "his" fortune cookies as a way to say thank you to the customers in the late 1890s to the early 1900s. Others clain that the cookie was invented in 1918, by David Jung, a Chinese immigrant that lived in Los Angeles who founded the Hong Kong Noodle Company. Jung was scared about worried about the homeless people living near his shop, so he decided to give the fortune cookies for free to them with each slip of paper having an encouraging phrase from the bible on it.
 Some Japanese people believe that the fortune cookie was invented in the 19th century in Kyoto, Japan. Cracker-like cookies called tsujiura senbei were very known throughout Kyoto. Though they were larger and darker than the modern-day fortune cookies, they still had a "fortune" contained inside.
 But do fortune cookies really tell the future? Of course........they don't. The fortune contained inside your cookie is randomly placed in cookies by machines. The slip of paper is written on by millions of workers who print the "inspirational fortunes" on the cookie. If your fortune comes true, it's just a coincidence. They aren't actually fortune tellers.

My Opinion

Fortune's inside fortune cookies are fake. Don't let any cartoon or some adult that treats you like your 6 tell you otherwise. They are just made by machines and people who have to sit in one chair and type "inspirations" on paper for 8 hours. Even if it does come true, it's just a coincidence. Don't let them GET INSIDE YOUR HEAD.

Top 10 list

Top 10 WORST Fortune Cookie Fortunes EVER


1.                                

That is NOT a fortune. That is more of a "Heads Up".




2.                               

That is also not a fortune. That sounds more like a line from a weight loss program.







3.              

Soooooo? Cavemen ate grass, tree bark, and nuts.




4.          

Is this what happens when the people who type this get bored?





5.       

I thought fortune cookies were supposed to tell the future.



6.   

If I had a nickel every time someone had said that to me........



7.  Sure, you just go to veins and then.........











8.  

But my parents and teachers say that you have to eat vegetables and fruits. I thought fortune cookies were supposed to give people good advice.






9.                                    

Aren't fortune cookies supposed to tell people something they don't know?






10.   

Sorry, fortune cookies are not real. This is just a "coincidence."


Conclusion

So, what have we learned today? FORTUNE COOKIES ARE NOT REAL. They are just made from people who are paid $6 and hour, 8 hours a day, and work in a factory. The fortunes they provide are just for fun and aren't real. The ones that do come true are a coincidence. And for the people who do are just superstitious. The other day I overheard a conversation between 2 men and they were arguing about whether fortune cookies are real and who invented them. It doesn't matter who created them, it matters who  thinks they are fake.
Some Japanese people believe fortune cookies got their start as early as the 19th century in Kyoto, Japan. Cracker-like cookies — called tsujiura senbei — were popular in Kyoto. They were larger and darker than modern fortune cookies, but they did contain a fortune tucked into the bend of the cookie. - See more at: http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/can-fortune-cookies-predict-the-future/#sthash.a4zRPPzC.dpuf
