Fortune cookies have been around since the beginning of time, the early philosophers stumbled upon their lair and decided to publish the wisdom as their own. Once they had found every possible fortune, Chinese people started putting them on tables for good luck. For some reason, white people always ate them so they started wrapping them in plastic since white people dont like plastic. But that still didnt work and they gave up. Now they have to replace them after every meal. No one knows how they reproduce but no matter how many they remove from the lair, they return to the same population by the next day.
