One of the greatest parts about ordering Chinese food has nothing to do with the fried rice or sweet and savory sauces. The fortune cookies that come with the meal are a simple, sweet treat, but the real enjoyment that comes with cracking them open lies in the messages written on the tiny strips of paper inside them. Usually, the fortunes predict your future or deliver some sage wisdom, but every once in a while, they turn out to be completely hilarious.
Many people believe that fortune cookies trace their origins back to China, but actually, they're an American tradition and really don't exist in China. Of course, that's not to say that the Chinese don't have other fortune telling traditions — you can use their zodiac to learn about your own personality traits!
Even though fortune cookies might not have actual mystic abilities, they're still a lot of fun to open and eat. This family actually used a fortune cookie to create a super cute and original pregnancy announcement! It's always exciting when your own fortune manages to surprise you… And if you're lucky, it might even make you crack up.
Check out these hilarious fortunes found in cookies, and let us know if you've ever found such a funny message inside one of your own. Number 12 has to be the funniest bit of advice I've ever read!
