“Fortune cookies are an ancient Chinese tradition.”
Fortune cookies were not invented in China. They originated in California, USA.
The modern fortune cookie was created in the early 1900s in either San Francisco or Los Angeles — both cities claim credit. The cookie itself was inspired by Japanese senbei crackers, and the paper fortune was an American innovation. In fact, they’re almost unheard of in China.
