  1. PoodleGroomer says:

    Decaffeinated green tea comes from wheat?

  2. PoodleGroomer says:

    Do you want lemon grass or sugar cane?

  3. dukethepcdr says:

    Here we go alright. Drink that stuff and you’ll go to the restroom all day long.

  4. dukethepcdr says:

    Second!!!! (Just kidding :) ) Apparently, PoodleGroomer isn’t as obsessed with being ‘first’ as a lot of posters on here are.

    • JohnB says:

      Many of us regulars get to go first a few times. As I once observed, it is a rare privilege, kind of like being the first skiier on a slope, making a track in virgin territory. But commenting on it, unless the comment is extremely clever, is like laying a track of poop in the virgin snow. And like poop, one generally wants to pay attention to it as little as possible.

  5. JohnB says:

    I really wouldn’t know WHAT to think if I got this as a fortune! I believe my wife would take it as a cue to commit harakiri.

  6. Crumpet says:

    Wait – has anyone heard of fatty tea? How can it be anything but low fat?

    This is surprisingly reminiscent of “low fat salsa”…

    • JohnB says:

      No, I haven’t heard of fatty tea. However, I live in Kentucky, a place where green beans are only considered to be cooked correctly if they have been first canned and then boiled for hours while soaking in pork fat. So I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the possibility.

    • bluejade says:

      Tea in Tibet is made with yak butter.

      • Droll not Troll says:

        Thanks, bluejade! I had a vague recollection that some group of people somewhere put grease in their tea. They’re welcome to it. I don’t even like cream in mine!

    • Mark. Gooley says:

      Well, Tibetans have been known to put yak butter in tea, and Brits and Indians from India have been known to put in fatty milk if not cream. But of itself, tea has almost no fat.

      As a diabetic, I’ve found that fat causes fewer troubles for me than carbohydrates, and some dieters would agree, so the whole low-fat mania seems increasingly silly to me. No-fat refried beans from a can… oh, they’re so bad compared with refried beans made with real lard.

  7. Anthea says:

    Probably tastes like chicken, too.

  8. Sinatra says:

    got your fiber and your antioxidants all in one.

  9. JM says:

    I GOT THAT ONE ONCE!
    Ah i was gonna submit it but ya beat me to it.

  10. KinkyTom says:

    Great now my fortune cookies are giving me dieting advice >_<

    • hollyr57 says:

      Everyone is giving us dieting advice anymore. Even my cats have been known to place their paws firmly on freezer door as I try to open it for ice cream.

  11. tullyam says:

    its a haiku!!

    • JohnB says:

      Not quite finished, though. How about:

      Here we go. Low fat,
      Eat whole wheat, and drink green tea.
      Life sucks a big one.

  12. I thought that “tea” made out of wheat was called “postum”.

    • JohnB says:

      It’s more of a “coffee” made from wheat. And in my opinion, it tastes rather like burnt wheat. I’ll have what Juan Valdez is having!

  13. dr handle says:

    Here we go, here we go, here we go,
    Here we go, here we go, here we go-o-o-o-o-o-o…

  14. Ouchmaker says:

    Hooray!! My first picture to be published on the main page. Anyway, the feaky thing is that my fortune cookie didn’t even have a fortune in it at all. Then my girlfriend cracks her open and gets this…

    • Ouchmaker says:

      *her’s open

      • Ouchmaker says:

        Wholey crap I fail… *hers open!!!!

        • hollyr57 says:

          Don’t worry too much about little gaffes like that. I’ve never been called on mine. People are nice about that. It’s only deliberate or rude comments that get peoples’ goats. What they do with the goats after that, I’m sure I don’t know. *waggles eyebrows, clenches cigar between teeth and stalks off stage in a bent-knee crouch*

          • JohnB says:

            I do get on people sometimes for minor gaffes, but only in the spirit of making LOLZ. I reserve my truly snarky comments for the rude and obnoxious.

  15. Meh says:

    Oh my goodness. I got that fortune the other day!!! Really.

  16. Hunter says:

    I got this same fortune once. Made me laugh for days. My brother and I started chanting it cheerleader-style, because we’re awkward like that. Yeah.

  17. Hs says:

    Um, this is not an error. It’s a funny joke that nobody seems to get. Duh.

    • Meh says:

      I think the fortune is trying to get us to eat better.
      I have gotten many like that lately, they seem to be leaning toward self help now.

    • JohnB says:

      This site is Engrish Funny. And most of us care less about it being Engrish than it being funny.

  18. celestiial says:

    I swear, I got this same fortune! We’re linked somehow, now. It made me laugh so hard at that restaurant, the waiters probably thought I was on something. But I saw this and immediately thought how weird it was that this exists twice…

  19. celestiial says:

    Well, now that I actually read the comments, I see that I’m now a member of a well-organized, random and secret club.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      Wow! Did you really think those cookie fortunes were all different? You need to come down from the sky and find out how things work here on Earth.

  20. T. Wolfwind says:

    I’ve actually had this fortune before lol

  21. disques durs says:

    Green tea is really a very good for health so only drink green tea and enjoy the morning time..

  22. Sylvia says:

    Wow! I’ve actually had the same fortune in my cookie before, too!

  23. nick says:

    I like that idea but coudn’t it be a larger selection. ;(
