They are total providers. If your fortune is negative you get a delicious biscuit to console you. If the fortune is positive you get a delicious biscuit to help you celebrate.
They trigger powerful parts of the human psyche - hope, belief in luck, the belief in chance, the urge to gamble, desire for improvement, desire to win, desire for reward.
Fortune Cookies are impartial - always. They are not able to favour any type of person.
They empower people to make changes and new choices, using the simple technology of DIY problem solving. If you don't like the fortune you can throw it away and eat another cookie.
They are a great way to end a good meal.
They have a ridiculous shape, yet you don't laugh at them - you recognise the power.
No other biscuit or baked food product even vaguely achieves the thrill of anticipation generated by the appearance of an unopened Fortune Cookie.
No other biscuit has the courage, nerve and wisdom to tell you your fortune.
They can be used in interior design, styling, film sets, advertising, motivational speeches, as acceptable substitutes for pillow chocolates. They are photogenic and look good almost anywhere.
People project their fantasies, hopes, dreams and issues onto Fortune Cookies. The cookies are often blamed if a fortune comes true.

The Fortune Cookie only wants the best for everyone. Every person gets a chance. No one can refuse the offer of a Fortune Cookie. It's an ice-breaker and peace-maker.
