Fortune Cookies

Hey hey, pernah denger fortune cookies gak sih ?
hm, dari namanya aja kita udah tau kalau ini kue keberuntungan. Apa sih keunikan kue ini, sampai bisa terkenal banget ? Well,, here it goes,,

Kue keberuntungan ini, ternyata adalah sebuah kue renyah yang berisi sepotong kertas yang berisi petuah, ramalan or angka keberuntungan.weirdo rite ?




Fortune cookies ini ternyata diakui oleh dua kota loo sebagai tempat pertama kalinya kue ini dibuat, LA and San Fransisco. Sempat terjadi perselisihan juga sih, that's why sampai sekarang belum ada keputusan kota mana yang dinobatkan sebagai tempat kue ini dibuat pertama kali.

Eh eh, ada cerita unik lo tentang kue ini. Jadi,waktu itu di USA sekitar enam tahun yang lalu, penarikan lotre powerball mengahsilkan 110 pemenang kedua (?!) how come guys,,,?? Semuanya memilih lima nomer dengan tepaat. Jumlah hadiah keseluruhannya $19,4 juta. so unbelievable ! 89 tiket menang $100.000, tapi 21 tiket lainnya menang $500.000 karena adanya pilihan penggandaan dalam Power Play. Tetapi, para pejabat Powerball mulanya menduga ada kecurangan, namun ternyata semua pemenang menggunakan nomor yang didapat dari fortune cookies yang mereka makan yang dibuat oleh Wonton Food Inc., sebuah pabrik kue keberuntungan di  New York. Selidik punya selidiiikk,, eehh rupanya kombinasi nomor yang dicetak dalam kue keberuntungan itu digunakan kembali dalam ribuan kue setiap harinya. Kelima nomor yang menang itu adalah 22, 28, 32, 33, dan 39. Nomor keenam dalam kue itu, 40, tidak cocok dengan nomor powerball, 42.













So, wat do u think 'bout it ? Wanna try ?
