At the end of dinner at a Chinese Restaurant do you look forward to indulging in a fortune cookie while reading the creative saying that was tucked inside? I know that I do and sometimes I can't help but wonder if that tiny little message inside was intended just for me.
If you receive a Fortune Cookie from Fancy Fortune Cookies or Giant Fortune Cookies the message inside may have been written especially for you. A tasty treat from either of these companies is not comparable to your average fortune cookie. Instead you will find a wide array of gourmet flavored fortune cookies dipped in chocolate and covered with nuts or sprinkles.
My family received a Limited Edition Gingerbread Giant as well as several Gourmet Hazelnut Milk Chocolate Dipped regular sized fortune cookies. My initial thought was WOW! It really is hard to judge just how big these 1lb Giant Fortune Cookies are until you see one in person.
The cookies were shipped in a box labeled fragile. Inside the shipping box was a thicker baking box filled with red shards of paper nestling the bubble wrapped Giant. The individually wrapped regular sized cookies were also bubble wrapped and tucked inside this box. The Giant was professionally packaged in cellophane and tied shut with a large bow. Sadly the shipping service did not take note of the "fragile" stickers and I discovered my Giant cookie was broken when I unwrapped it.
Even though the Giant arrived broken it tasted divine. This special limited edition fortune cookie is a real treat especially for those who love gingerbread men, like me. Even my son who does not care for regular fortune cookies enjoyed this sweet treat. Gingerbread lovers it looks like you can still order the Limited Edition Gingerbread Giant from Giant Fortune Cookies but you may be looking for something more appropriate for a Valentines Day gift!
Since I have an inquisitive mind and Valentines Day is right around the corner I wanted to know how often Fancy Fortune Cookies or Giant Fortune Cookies receives a request to assist with a marriage proposal. Erin from Fancy Fortune Cookies told me that requests for fortune cookies for proposals peak during Christmas and Valentines. She even mentioned some real romantics that have ordered 100 cookies with specific messages and that men in the Indianapolis area have brought in actual rings to put inside the cookies. Sure sounds like there are some pretty creative and romantic men out there. Ironically, last week I noticed on Facebook that a High School classmate found a personalized proposal in none other than a Giant fortune cookie!
