From cracking them open to see what awesome prediction you got, to sharing them with loved ones and friends, fortune cookies never cease to charm. Even if the fortunes themselves aren’t accurate or insightful, it’s just plain enjoyable finding out and laughing over the randomness of what you got inside!
