These crispy golden cookies are without a doubt the best part of eating at a Chinese restaurant: There’s just something thrilling about breaking open the cookie at the end of your meal and reading your fate on that tiny slip of paper. But did you know that fortune cookies aren’t really fromChina? To celebrate the upcoming holiday of big fortunes in small packages, here’s a brief history of everyone’s favorite takeout cookie.
Fortune cookies as we know them today aren’t Chinese at all: According to popular opinion, they’re actually American, inspired by the Japanese. They were first made in the early 1900s inCalifornia. But who is responsible for inventing the idea has been a topic of great debate over the years. As the history books have it, two people have tried to lay official claim to the fortune cookie’s fame: Makoto Hagiwara and David Jung.
Hagiwara, a Japanese immigrant, said he started serving them at the Japanese Tea Gardens inSan Franciscobetween 1907 and 1914. They were his version of Japanese rice wafers called “senbei,” and inside they held thank-you notes for the public rather than fortunes. Jung, a native ofChinawho immigrated toLos Angeles, founded the Hong Kong Noodle company in 1916 and claimed he invented the fortune cookie in 1918. He said he handed them out to poor, joblessCaliforniamen as a way to inspire them, but there was never any official record that the idea was his.
In an attempt to get to the bottom of things, the San Francisco Court of Historical Review hosted a mock trial to sort out the cookie’s past. After a long and quirky trial, the court finally ruled in favor of Hagiwara and announcedSan Franciscoas the home of fortune cookies. And yet despite the court’s decision, many people continue to credit Jung as the mastermind behind the fateful golden cookie. Still others argue that the fortune cookie has completely different origins. Up to this day, the question “Who invented the fortune cookie?” is very much an open case.
But no matter where they came from, fortune cookies are—and always will be—a staple of Chinese-American cuisine. Today, their popularity has reached such larger-than-life proportions that giant fortune cookies have become one of the hottest gift items for every occasion, from birthdays to Valentine’s Day. So on July 20, go ahead and celebrate by cracking open a humongous fortune cookie with an equally huge good fortune inside!
What’s the best fortune you’ve ever gotten after opening a fortune cookie?
For as long as you can remember, your dad has been your hero. Whether you took long weekend fishing trips or went to baseball games together, what you remember most about spending time with Dad as a kid is that you wanted to grow up to be just like him.

Hooray! After years of hard work and determination, they finally did it! Help your grad savor his shining moment with delightful desserts that hold the promise of an even sweeter future. Here are five graduation gift ideas that every grad will love.
Hats off to the grad! To celebrate the big day, these one-of-a-kind cookies arrive in a box shaped like a real graduation cap. Inside, the mortarboard is filled with Oreos—everyone’s favorite classic cookie—hand-dipped in real chocolate and decorated with diplomas and other grad-themed trimmings. It also comes with a personalized message with special kudos straight from you. Sure, your graduate could share the delicious cookies with the rest of the graduating class … but he won’t want to!
Graduation day is only the beginning of the lifetime of success that waits ahead. Show your alum how proud you are of today’s accomplishments—and give him your best wishes for a bright tomorrow—with this colossal fortune cookie! This treat is as yummy as it is gigantic: It’s hand-dipped in Belgian dark chocolate and then decorated with a graduation cap and their commencement year. The cookie even has a customizable fortune inside and comes in a cute takeout carton. This grad’s future is looking good!
Show the grad how to take a delicious slice out of life with this mouthwatering pie. Each handcrafted pastry is made with a rich, buttery cookie crust, smooth and sweet white crème, and Oreo pieces sprinkled on top. Then, it’s all wrapped up in a metallic gold gift box and a “Class of 2013” ribbon—perfectly sophisticated and festive packaging for the occasion. One pie can serve up to 12, but don’t be surprised if your grad wants it all to himself. After all, graduation is all about seizing great new opportunities!
After so many years of bringing bright red apples as a gift for the teacher, it’s time to reward the student with a special apple of his own. Weighing in at over 1 pound, this tart, juicy orchard-fresh Granny Smith is dipped in creamy caramel, sprinkled with rainbow candy and drizzled with white confection. We top off the treat with some pretty ribbon and a heartfelt note. There’s no sweeter way to say congratulations for a job well done!
Once that cap has been tossed into the air and that diploma is in hand, it’s time to party! This Popcorn Factory sampler holds an entire graduation bash in a box: It has everything your graduate and his fellow alums need to let loose after school’s out for good, including gourmet cheese, white cheddar and caramel popcorn; mini pecan-caramel Pixies; honey-roasted peanuts; popcorn balls; Jelly Belly jellybeans; sour stars; and milk chocolate-covered pretzels. A well-earned treat for a hardworking grad!
Which gift will you give to your grad to sweeten his commencement day?
Celebrate the lifelong bond between brothers and sisters: April 10 is National Sibling Day! From the early childhood days when you playfully tortured each other, to the now grown-up days when you turn to one another for unconditional love and support, your siblings have always stuck right by your side. Here are some sweet, thoughtful ways to show your brother or sister how lucky you feel to call them family.
Throughout life’s most important moments, our siblings are always there for us. They listen to our worries and fears, they give us no-nonsense advice when we need it, and they always know how to make us laugh. Sending them a thank-you gift basket with a heartfelt note lets your siblings know that everything they do is not only noticed, but also much appreciated.
Some of us are fortunate enough to live near our brothers and sisters. Others are not. The beauty of brotherhood, however, is that no number of miles can separate siblings’ hearts. Whether the last time you spoke to each other was yesterday or last year, give your siblings a call and tell them how much you love them. Even if you’re going through a rough patch and aren’t on speaking terms, today is the perfect day to make amends.
Just like the good old days when you used to share a dinner table, have your brothers or sisters over for a comforting home-cooked meal. Make the foods you all loved to eat while growing up, and use the one-on-one time to catch up with each other. Reminisce over happy old memories … and make new ones together too.
When life sometimes gives you more than you can handle, you can count on your siblings to lend you a helping hand. For all those times they helped you move into a new apartment, fix your car, find a new job, go grocery shopping and more, now’s time to return the favor. No matter how big or small their chores are, show your siblings your gratitude by helping them tackle their to-do list.
Siblinghood is often the longest relationship of our lives: From the cradle to the grave, our brothers and sisters never stop being our siblings. With so many years you share together, you also share a lifetime of photos that capture your most precious memories. Dig up those old pictures of you and your siblings, and look through them together. Physically watching your relationship grow over time doesn’t just give you a sense of closeness and comfort; it also solidifies your brotherly love for many years to come.
How will you celebrate your brother or sister on National Siblings Day?
