The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
A Chinese meal just isn’t complete, until we get our fortune cookie. Now imagine, instead of opening our cookie to reveal a non-sensical fortune and lottery numbers, we get treated to assorted hip-hop cyphers and flows.
Fortune Cookie Flows is here to replace those traditional post-meal aphorisms with rap lyrics. Crack open your cookie, and enjoy the words of Nas and other hip-hop artists. Available in packs of 50 here.

Let’s face it… a fortune cookie is the least fortunate part of any Chinese meal. Unless, of course, you get some bad Moo Goo Gai Pan.
However, the Japanese know a good food gimmick opportunity when they see one — so Felissimo stuffs their cookies with tiny cats. Although the little felines aren’t edible, they are hand-painted and very collectible.
Unfortunately, the cats do not provide Chinese lessons, or lottery numbers that don’t work.

Who doesn’t look forward to finishing their Chinese take-out, just to get to their fortune cookie? And, with their flavorless exterior and fortune that usually makes no sense, it’s no wonder.
Misfortune Cookies are here to put the fun back in your post-meal cookie — with fortunes that not only make sense, but contain brutal honesty.
Messages such as “Right now is the best you’re ever going to feel. Misery awaits. Give up.” you’ll eventually learn to appreciate the cookies’ refreshing candor after your beef and broccoli. Check them out here.
