Restaurants aren’t making their own fortune cookies my guy. I would bet that there are probably one or two major manufacturers in the country.

But they chose to (assumedly) cheap out on getting fortune cookies from an advertiser rather than normal cookies.

I looked it up. 90% of the fortune cookies in the USA are made by Wonton Food Inc. My guess is that company is the one making the decisions about ads on the fortunes. Everyone just buys them and puts them into their bags of food.

So the restaurant shouldn’t buy those cookies.

Restaurants don’t make their own fortune cookies, that is true, but there’s hundreds and hundreds of fortune cookie manufacturers in the US. Outside of chain restaurants, I’d wager most buy from local suppliers. Next time you get one, look up the manufacturer on the label
But there’s another near-flavorless cracker whose production IS almost entirely centralized…The majority of the mass-produced communion wafers in the US are made by one company in Rhode Island.

Me too. If they’re cheating out on fortune cookies what else might they be doing.

The fact that your full-table order of Chinese food came out 3 minutes after your ordered it, should also be another red flag.
