Why do I read fortune cookies?

[AquaSwing]

As far as I'm concerned if they wanted to print something that was going to come true they should print on every single fortune:

"You are going to die."

That's my answer when people ask me what mine says.

Do you think perhaps that you are over thinking the issue? Maybe you read it because it's a fun tradition that takes 3 seconds and it's interesting to think about?

No, this isn't deep enough. Surely there's more meaning behind it.

If you go to the factory, they let you insert your own fortunes.
