    That’s why I use an ad blocking extension and automatically reject advertising cookies.

      Me too. If they’re cheaping 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.

      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.

    Before FTX was shut down for their other sketchy behavior, they were advertising using fortune cookies. The fortune would be something saying to take a risk and the back was an ad for FTX. Most manipulative cookie I’ve ever had.

      Meat. How you may ask? Through Eldritch horrors.

      Stab a piece of a chicken and the chicken announces “This chicken was brought to you by the fine folks at Tyson Foods! Prepared with 30% less child labour.”

      About to carve into a nice, hunk of roast beef. Bam! "This beef was bought at [insert grocery store]. It’s only made out of 27% cow. It’s great for losing weight thanks to the [insert scam fab diet here].

    Am I missing something? Was this supposed to be a video, or are you maybe trying to not reward them by showing the whole thing? If so, that’s understandable, but regardless I don’t know how to feel about it without seeing it. Are we just judging the concept?
