a lot of the time when the cookies are served, who oyu are with asks you what you’re fortune says. so i wonder how she explains not reading it to them. i think the best part would be reading all of the cookies on new years eve.

Ha, I love this! I do something sort of similar, but I read them all and collect the good ones in a little box for when I’m feeling down.

I do the same thing that tasty does. If I eat the cookie, the fortune will be true. I don’t keep them in a jar but I do hold onto all of the good ones. Same is true of the tags on Salada tea bags. I get very disappointed if I get one that’s meaningless or is a stupid joke. Sometimes the tag has a good note, though.

Are you planning to be buried with your fortunes?

I can’t look at the fortune until after I’ve eaten the cookie. I don’t think there’s any reasoning for that other than superstition and OCD.

I have a fortune cookie policy – if I like the fortune, I eat the cookie and save the fortune (as if maybe eating the cookie cements my good fortune or something). If I don’t like it, I don’t eat the cookie because I’m afraid the bad fortune will stick with me. All my good fortunes are in a jar in my kitchen.

Yeah I don’t really get this. That’s kind of like a little kid covering his eyes on scary parts of movies and saying “It isn’t happening.” Whether you burnt the bad fortunes or not, they were your fortunes.
