I eat fortune cookies but don't believe what they tell me. I believe fortune cookies are just for fun and good entertainment. I always like read what they have to say. Sometimes they are on track on what is happening. This is only because they are by chance though. Fortune cookies are not ment to be serious so I would not ever take them seriously. They are alto of fun and game. That all there meant to be. They tast so good. I love how sweet they taste,

I do not believe in the fortune cookies. i like to read them, but i definitely don't believe in them. They are a lot of things that I don't believe in at all. But thats just my opinion.

Fortune cookies are delicious. Most people dont take the time to open them, and if they do they dont eat them! It is my favorite thing to eat in the Chinese bag! LOL. Anyways, I do take the time to open the cookie to read the fortune. I dont take them as something specific to me but rather something that is a quote to remember. A proverb of some kind. It is a great idea, but not something to take seriously, however it is funny when the cookie pertains to something relevant in your life.

I don't believe what they say. l I find them to be entertaining. I think when I was younger I believe what I read but with age that sentiment disappear.

I don't believe in them and I'm glad you don't either. Those cookies are just like the horoscopes that you find in the back of the newspaper or on the internet. They are just meant for entertainment purposes. Every now and again they make a ton of sense with what is going on in your life but that is just coincidence...nothing more.

I certainly don't believe what a fortune cookie predicts for me. Anyone can randomly get the messages they provide. Also, you can get the same message a few times since they only make so many fortunes and stick them in the cookies, so it's not like it's a unique prediction or anything. It IS entertaining though, as you said, and they taste okay as well. : )

I like to eat them more than I like to read them. They're really never much like me at all, so they're so vague that they could be about anyone. I have fun laughing at them sometimes. One time a friend of mine got a fortune cookie that said, "Everyone thinks you're awesome." and we all had a good laugh at that.

I do not believe what a fortune cookie tells me. I wish I could believe what some of them say though. Some of them say some very good things and soem of them do not. I still like to read them though.

No, I do not believe in it. Its just a piece of paper which needs to be taken out. Besides there is no way someone can predict your future without knowing who you are. It is the weirdest method of fortune telling.

Yeah, they taste good just like a good desert, but I believe what your fortune cookie says can also be real. Sometime ago I went out to eat chinese and had a fortune cookie, when I opened it my fortune tells me that I have a secret admirer and of course at my age...who would believe on such, right? but hey, it came true anyway. I met somebody who seems to like me. It also happend to my friend, on that same restaurant, her fortune tells her that she'll receive a surprise money...true indeed after a day she does recieved a check in her mail. Sometimes they do come true, but maybe just coincidence...if you believe they are true then most probably they will...just a matter of believing I guess.

I don't believe what fortune cookies say either. I read the paper and mostly just smile because the words are mostly encouraging and warm. It is nice to feel that even fortune cookies can bring you motivation.

I do not belive in fortune cookies either. They are very good tasting but the messag in side is a peice of paper that some Asian typed on giving you some hope if all is down. Fortune cookies may come true but very rare and not because it says so.

I never believe it but I have fun reading it and sometimes it may be coincidental the fortune cookies mention tell exactly the good or bad things which happen to me. It is quite inspiring to read but i never depend on it.

No, I don't believe the fortunes in a fortune cookie. They are fun to eat after a Chinese meal - and the fortunes are just entertaining to read. I like the fact that all of them have some sort of postive message . . . so even though the messages are not true, at least it will have made a person feel good. They taste good if they are not old . . . ugh, have you ever tasted stale fortune cookies?

nope. I don't believe in fortune cookies though I also enjoy eating and reading what's inside. I think it was created just for fun, cause if you think hard about it, how can a cookie know what's gonna happen to you in the future? besides, when you eat a lot of fortune cookies and read everything inside it, which one will you believe, some may be contradicting and you will just be confused. so I suggest, just enjoy eating and reading..

I admit that I bought a full bag of fortune cookies because I wanted to have a laugh with my friends. I don't believe the fate they say you'll have, as is something that someone wrote randomly in a piece of paper, but it's a funny entertainment.

I love cookies, what more a cookie with fortune? Anyway, there is a Chinese restaurant in Kamloops that me and friends always eat together and serves fortune cookies after a meal. Well, some of the written thoughts were almost true. I think fortune cookie is a way of wishing someone a good luck. If ask do I believe in it? I do and its no bidg deal for me if it wasnt true either.
