Fortune Cookies

inQ7money: Fortune cookies used to be found only in a few Chinese restaurants. Or seen in Hollywood movies. This delicacy was immortalized, for instance, in a 1966 film “The Fortune Cookie” starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
Fortune cookies, which resemble the boat-shaped ancient Chinese gold ingots, are each imbedded with a strip of paper containing a prediction, lucky number or aphorism, either thought-provoking or outrightly amusing. First popularized in the United States, these are now available in the local market and have become a “Kung Hei Fat Choi” giveaway.
Lucky Fortune has yet to go full-blast with its domestic promotions, but the duo say the “Gold Coin” cookies are hot products during the months of December, January and February. Barely a year after the product was launched, the company’s plant in Cainta now operates at full capacity 24 hours a day to cope with huge demand this peak season.
