ReillyNoFun Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I've been doing a bit of research lately about the phrases and different cards that vintage "Fortune Teller" machines dispensed as I'm working on a fortune vendor project of my own. It got me thinking though - a lot of the advice was stale, the magic/supernatural stuff kinda cool, but overall the fortunes kinda sucked. What are some of your favorite fortunes or wise words? Whats the weirdest fortune cookie you've ever gotten?Ones I've gotten that have stuck with me are "You can be trusted to keep a secret." and "Insult someone who deserves it." HAH!

caserri Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 My favorite fortune cookie fortune was one my wife got. It said... "You will soon be the man that today you are not." --Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I say every time I open a cookie. My family just rolls their eyes. --Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 How about... "If your fortune cookie is still in one piece, you will win the lottery!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 So, all those fortune cookies I throw away has a message in them? No wonder I don't eat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 So, all those fortune cookies I throw away has a message in them? No wonder I don't eat them. That's why they call them fortune cookies - if there weren't any message, they'd just be regular cookies. I give mine to the dog but he could care less about the fortunes as they don't usually apply to dogs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I give mine to the dog but he could care less about the fortunes as they don't usually apply to dogs anyway. I don't know about that. "You will soon make a new friend" sounds like the perfect fortune for a dog with plans to go to the dog park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because he's so focused on the other half of that cookie when I read them to him that the message seems to take a backseat - he's pretty serious about his snacks.

The Mage Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I live the life of Jones Soda fortunes. The last one I opened told me to hide for a few days. I've always wanted to put out evil fortune cookies. Warnings of impending doom, death, and visits from relatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReillyNoFun Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks guys - and happy new year! I used a few of these for my fortunes - vended out of a retrofitted tampon machine for an event last thursday at the big art gallery here in Toronto and got some laughs and also some disapproving looks. Had to refill the machine 3 times - it sold out in under 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
