SHOW NOTES

In this episode we shared the vague and unhelpful prophecies pulled from fortune cookies - a sort of “conversation cookie”, if you will. Despite being a staple of Chinese takeaways, fortune cookies are actually believed to have their roots in Japanese culture, with the paper fortune placed in the cookie’s fold, rather than inside. Something like 3 billion fortune cookies are now made and consumed every year, largely in the USA, with the biggest companies based in New York, the Midwest and Los Angeles.

Don’t say we never teach you anything.
