As a kid I always thought when they placed the cookies down the paper inside was blank but only became a fortune when it knew which person was selecting it.
Show a fortune cookie to a mainland Chinese who is not familiar with silly Americans and their silly Americanizations of everything and I guarantee you they will look at it and wonder what the fuck they're supposed to do with it, let alone what the greasy little strip of paper with nonsense on it is supposed to mean.
You could say that fortune cookies are BASED on something from Chinese culture (i.e., mooncakes), but otherwise it is all VERY VERY SILLY.
Chop Suey is pretty much made from a bunch of leftovers, thrown into a bowl, and served to people who think it is authentic Chinese food.
It is nicknamed "mixed garbage" in Cantonese.
I used to date a girl who was born after her parents came over from Taiwan. Her parents would always take us to authentic Chinese places where I couldn't read anything at all in the place, and had to trust them to order for me.
As a white guy who used to live in Europe, man dim sum is the shittiest breakfast ever.

Look out, our whole country is round-eye culture rapists.

I determined from my short trip to Japan that the US has already stolen all the important foods from there: sushi, tempura and ramen. We are so good at what we do.

Who gives a shit? Chinese food is delicious and loaded with MSG, MSG, MSG, more MSG, and fat, the way all good comfort food is.
fixed. Also, as per your Japanese food thing. Yeah we took their good food, and then fucking raped it. I managed to get a bowl of Ramen at Sugakiya, some ramen chain in Nagoya. It was so much fucking better than any of the ramen you will find in the states.
I mean the crap I have to eat every day because I am a poor college student is just... cardboard soaked in water with a few vegetables thrown in.
I mean, people who don't discern that it's not culturally authentic either are dumb enough that it's probably not their biggest fault as a person or don't care enough to question it, because it's just food you put in your mouth.

I go to IU, and Bloomington has a shit-ton of fantastic ethnic restaurants. Really diverse, some of them are more affordable than others, they are all pretty great. Except for the Japanese ones. It is kind of annoying, pick any other culture and you will find a really good restaurant for it there but the Japanese restaurants all suck. Fortunately there is a good one back in my hometown about 30 miles away but still. Frustrating.
(Also pizza, bars, pizza, pizza, subs, and piza, but every college town has those.
To everyone else: It's been two days and the cookie remains wrapped. Shall I open it?
They were not Americanized, they were never fucking Chinese in the first place.
And I don't think anybody cares whether or not you open the cookie. There is nothing special about them. I mean, go ahead and eat it if you are hungry or something, but really. It is a piece of paper inside a cookie. I don't think there has ever been anything close to any basis for the cookies being mystical in any way shape or form.

I'm surprised we made it five pages before someone said this
I expected it on the first post tbqh
I agree, no reason to be an asshole over a perfectly normal post.

I was going to say "worship it", but that's a different culture. A delicious one

big country with bigger population, growing at a fast rate creating huge resource issues and spewing pollution everywhere
has a rich history of increasing its size and subjugating other countries and peoples
how close am I?
Whoa hey now. Lets be fair, they were subjugated themselves a few times.
Soju.
How fucked up is it that that Korea was conquered so many times that they took to drinking antiseptic.
I also got "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." And "Though you will be complimented by friends, do not let them get to your head."
Worst 'in bed' fortune cookie I've gotten: Seek advice from an octogenarian

Those fried noodles however are addictive.
I keep it in my wallet.
