FORTUNE COOKIE ETIQUITE AND/OR RULES

The fold of the cookie faces the person it is meant for – not the crimped ends. (Make sure you pick the correct cookie.)

Do not touch the other fortune cookies – only yours. (It negates a fortune if you touch it and it is not yours.)

If the fortune cookie tastes good, the fortune will be bad. If the fortune cookie tastes bad, the fortune will be good.

NEVER open your fortune cookie until you are completely through with your meal.

Always add the words, “in bed” at the end of reading your fortune aloud. Example: You are ready to take on the world…….in bed. Do the right thing, regardless of what others think…..in bed. You have a friendly heart and are well admired……in bed.


DO YOU KNOW OTHER FORTUNE COOKIE RULES?

I always collect the discarded fortunes of our group in restaurants. I fold them and keep the fortunes in a jar by the front door. When someone leaves, they can read their fortune on the way out. .

Always go to Chinese Restaurant after Thanksgiving

  3. Secondhand fortunes are of the Devil. Burn those immediately, or you will be haunted by Confucious... in bed.

    Moon, if you picked up your fortune it would say you are turning into a skinny little pixie!

  6. Which fortune cookie counts? The first one or the second one? Do I get the choice between whichever one's the best?

  7. Is there a rule about fortune cookies that sit untouched for over 2 weeks? Basically can I take my roommates old cookie and still receive fortune?
