Fortune cookies are found in Chinese restaurants almost everywhere except China and made mostly in the United States. Surprisingly enough their origin is (C) Japanese.

Here's a newspaper article I found very interesting on the subject: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/dining/16fort.html?_r=2&scp=11&sq=restaurant&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
