You
cannot look at all the fortunes first, then
claim the best one as your own - or give the
worst one to someone else.

After
reading the fortune, you must not tell anyone
your fortune, and then eat your fortune cookie
and put paper on fire for it to come true. |

If there
is no fortune in a fortune cookie, it is a sign
that something good will happen to you soon.
(Because fortune-cookie-fairy owes you one fortune.) |

If you
get 2 fortunes in 1 cookie, they cancel each
other out. The fortune from the next cookie
is the one you will receive.

If you
text your fortune to one person that is very
close, the fortune can come true for both you
and the person you texted!

fortune (that came from the cookie) to come
true. |

We've
heard this rule from number of people
over the years, and since there seems
to be no connection between them (though
we cannot be completely sure), we suspect
this rule is fairly popular. |
|
|
You
cannot pick your own fortune cookie. (Someone
has to give you a cookie) |
Update: |
We
received a comment from visitor (thank
you!) who has heard this rule before.
It seems this rule is a well-established
one after all. |

So
far, we've heard this rule from only
one person, but she heard it from someone
else, so it may be widely spread than
we know. |
