Romance is dead — in your fortune cookie!
The world’s largest fortune-cookie manufacturer has cut the heart out of its confections, removing romantic messages in response to complaints from parents of young children.
“Some parents sent us e-mails. They said they didn’t want their kids reading them,” said Derrick Wong, a VP at Brooklyn-based Wonton Food. “Different people have a different perspective.”

Must be a lot of people with a whole lot of time on their hands to make a fuss over the wording in a fortune cookie. This really is the age where people take offense at everything written yet are supposed to be "nonjudgemental" about every practiced depravity. Homosexual marriage - ok. Printing "you'll meet a tall dark handsome stranger" in a fortune cookie - not ok.
You’re exactly right.
That's funny until the eighteen year old girl where you work has to read her fortune: "The first and greatest love is self love..."
Then it becomes freakin' hilarious.
Fortunately she was a good sport rather than the type who complained about sexual harassment.
LOL!
And he obviously got out of the town or he wouldn't have become Kirk.
Our family ending is .....between the sheets. Also makes some of those ‘fortunes’ real knee-slappers!
““Romance and travel, for example. Suppose you’re on a business trip with a colleague, that doesn’t mean you want to have a romantic affair,” said Danny Zeng, another VP at Wonton.”
...I guess he doesn’t travel much.
Mine said, “Help, I’m trapped in a Chinese fortune cookie bakery!”
I had a friend in college that did that for polygraphs, but he added “In Church” mentally to every question. He never failed one, and he truly had never done stuff like smoked pot, in church...
There was a very good Chinese restaurant in Winston-Salem and the owners were so cute. They learned English when they got here and when we picked up our to-go orders and were leaving, they all said in unison,
“Thankyouverymuchhaveanicedaycomebackandseeus”.
And, unfortunately, I have never gotten a risque fortune in a fortune cookie.
So, the people who want to suck all the joy out of life for everybody else are finally totally in charge of everything?
Me: “I’d like to pick up 30 pounds of fortune cookies.”
Them: “Sure thing. That be pickup or deerivery and what you order?”
