Fun facts:

  • Fortune cookies are a staple of Chinese American cuisine, but it’s believed that they actually originated in Japan. A Japanese cracker called tsujiura senbei can be traced back to 19th-century Kyoto. This cracker was made with sesame and miso, and contained a small paper fortune tucked into its folds.

  • The Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park is often credited as the first place in the country to sell the modern-day fortune cookie.

  • After baking, the fortune cookies are removed from the oven and immediately folded into the traditional curved shape while they’re still hot and pliable; this is also when paper fortunes are slipped inside.

  • Some estimates claim that around 3 billion fortune cookies are produced every year—according to the Museum of Food and Drink.

  • Wonton Food Inc., based in Brooklyn, is the largest manufacturer of fortune cookies in the world, making 4.5 million each day.The company was founded in 1973 by Ching Sun Wong, who immigrated from China to the U.S. in the 1960s.
