Chinese restaurants around the world give out a fortune cookie at the end of a meal. That's why I expected it to be a custom coming from the ancient China, from Yuan or Ming dynasty, which means no later than the 17th century...
Even I thought to be from China, the fortune cookie is an American invention :( hahahaha, like many others! Fortune cookies were not known in the Chinese food culture, but luckily in the 1990s the fortune cookies arrived in China.
Ok, Ok, I'll say the truth: it was A bit of a disappointment really... because
I got a fortune that read: "You can't have any successes unless you can accept failure"!
