Yeah. The Chinese in China don't even know what fortune cookie is. It was the Japanese who brought it into the U.S., and if you go to this one city in Japan (I forgot where), you can find similar like fortune cookies, but with their own flavoring, like seaweed, etc. During the WWII when the Japanese were put into camps, the Chinese saw the opportunity and hijacked the idea and made it their own.

I have heard rumor that fortune cookies are sold as American novelty food.
