Un-Fortunate Cookies
If you are looking for traditional fortunes, don't buy these. The "fortunes" in these aren't fortunes and aren't funny. They are moralistic "wisdom" that will sooner or later lead to acute depression - about after the third one that tells you to work hard, be nice, obey the rules ...The only good fortune I got was "Oops, ... wrong cookie." - wow, was a fortune ever right! These are the wrong cookies with the wrong "fortunes" inside them.Here is a random selection:"There is no substitute for hard work.""Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.""Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.""What is right is often forgotten by what is convenient.""What you see in the mirror, and what you are can be two different images.""Today's action becomes tomorrow's habit."Please bring back the old fortunes that were funny, promised love, riches and other good things.

Crunchy cookies and great notes, but 1/3 of these were crumbled.
I know these cookies are cheap and you can still read some good notes even though the cookies are crumbled. But I did not expect that I would have 30 crumbled ones.I ordered this for a work party, and was originally thinking about getting 60pc type. After reading so many reviews about crumbled cookies, I decided to order more than I needed. And I was right on this one.. only 70 of them are still usable. (The whole stack in the back in my pictures were those crumbled ones)

Do not expect 100 complete cookies!
Individually packed, these are your average fortune cookie.The real problem is the horrid lack of appropriate shipping packaging. At least 1/3 were crumbled and a complete waste of space. They went straight to the trash. This was really disappointing and will be the main reason I never order these again.Freshness: Yeah. They taste fine.Fortunes: Typical. They seem to no longer make funny fortunes and silly things. Now they are just phrases offering wisdom. Things like work hard, be a nice person, don't give up. You feel like you're reading a motivational poster.For $12... eh. It would be a great value if you're getting 100 cookies. But since you only really get 65 or so...

I got 96 problems....
Ordered 100 fortune cookies received 75 in tact cookies, 20 crushed and ruined cookies and 1 empty wrapper equaling 96 pieces total.... not 100, I normally wouldn't complain receiving 95 out of 100 but the fact that 20 are crushed I am pretty upset!!!!!!!! 75 usable cookies out of 100 is a huge let down

Glad I only needed 40 but beware if you need ...
I was able to use 40 of these and that was only by lowering my standards and using some that were broken, but not in pieces. Most of the remaining were literally crumbs ... maybe I can use them on ice cream or something. Glad I only needed 40 but beware if you need more. Also, this shipped with two other items in the same box with no packing between them and the bag of cookies was not closed so about 20 were loose in the box being smashed by the heavier items. Poor packing for sure, I'd highly recommend shipping on its own but still plan on low rate of being usable.

Should be called fracture fortune cookies
We received the bag of fortune cookies to be used during our Easter dinner as a dessert item dipped in chocolate. Unfortunately, half the bag was full of broken fortune cookies. We didn't discover this until it was too late to return before Easter. Made do with the whole ones salvaged from bag. Seems this bag received rough treatment prior to or during shipping. Much of the fun of these cookies is opening them to see fortune. Also, if you planned to dip them in chocolate as we have done many times, it's impossible with crushed cookies. Definitely more care in packing and handling needed.

A Little Toasty.
I was a little skeptical of purchasing any food off of Amazon at first, but decided to buy these fortune cookies anyway. I bought them simply because I like fortune cookies, no special reason.I received them a day earlier than expected. The cookies came in a box with a couple other items I ordered. I was very pleased to find that they were packaged within their own smaller box and none were broken.The cookies taste just like the ones you get with Chinese food, though they are a little bit on the toasty side (which I like).If you like fortune cookies and can never get enough of them, then I definitely recommend purchasing.

They are as good as you can get at a restaurant!
They are as good as you can get at a restaurant, they're individually wrapped. They arrived undamaged. If I had anything to say on the very slight down side it would be that these are about 85% of the size I normally get in a restaurant, so slightly smaller and at this price you can just grab a second one if you need it. As for the fortune, it's typical of what is given out these days. I used math and logic in my working life and the notion that one slip of paper can deliver a unique verbal prediction for you and a winning lottery number just can't travel together (if you hold any store in those fortune slips anyway). The two diverse things on the slip are contradictory, if one's correct the other one can't be correct, but it's all in fun so why take a fortune cookie serious? So I withheld one star because of the slightly smaller size.
