Fortune Cookies in China

This link is to a blog and video that shows the reaction of people in China to "Fortune Cookies." "Why do American's put messages in their cookies," was the most common question asked.

This, of course, is another collision between two cultures, in my opinion. The cookies and fortunes are purely American, but they were created within the American-Chinese community as a way to offer an after-dinner treat and therefore has become "Chinese food" in the eyes of Americans.

Enjoy the film.
