Fortune cookies tend to have a 50:50 satisfying-to-disappointing ratio.
Sometimes, you'll get a cookie that's stale, soggy and obviously past its expiration date. What's most disappointing, though, is when your fortune -- a term that, for the sake of this post, we'll be using quite loosely -- is less inspirational and more ... you know .. WTF-y.
A quick Twitter search of the hashtag "#fortunecookie" revealed countless photos of fortunes that left users feeling a little short-changed. Scroll through some of the weirdest below.
