I opened a Chinese New Year fortune cookie earlier this evening. It said: "In choosing who to help, choose all. Love helps those who may never return the favor." Interesting fortune haha. Then again, I guess my involvement in Corporate Social Responsibility already meets this.

So apparently, while fortune cookies are regularly served after a meal in Chinese - or American Chinese - restaurants, they do not originate from China. (I should have known this as they are not served in Chinese restaurants here.) It seems that fortune cookies are based on a Japanese cracker and the whole tradition started in California. Go figure.
