Have you ever had a Fortuneless Cookie at a Chinese Restaurant?

[AviatorTom]

When you eat at a Chinese Restaurant, they usually give you a fortune cookie at the end, a cookie with a small slip of paper that typically has a saying on one side and lucky numbers on the other.

Today, we got some take-out from a local Chinese Restaurant. I had a chicken and noodles dish, which was delicious. When I opened the fortune cookie, though, there was nothing inside... a fortuneless cookie.

My wife then joked that meant bad things for me, a bad omen.

Has that ever happened to you? A fortuneless cookie? If so, what did you do?

I prefer Chinese joints in which they offer almond cookies as an alternative to the fortune cookie. It’s tastier and actually traditional to China.
Yes, i have had a fortuneless fortune cookie. As a huge fan of “The Last Dragon”, i was very excited to learn that my future was unwritten and entirely up to me! I feel like fortune cookie fortunes are overly astrology-y. I tested their powers by playing the “lucky numbers” in the lottery a few times. I never won. That’s how i knew it was just a novelty. Ho hum….

Yes, I’ve had a fortuneless cookie before, in a tiny Chinatown spot after a bowl of spicy beef noodle soup 🍜

The table went silent for a second, then the owner laughed and said, “You make your own fortune.” I loved that. I kept the empty cookie in my pocket all day, like a reminder that no paper decides my luck.

I’d treat it as a fun twist, not a bad omen 😄
