Set of 6 Lenox Fortune Cookies. It may surprise you to know the Chinese fortune cookie is an American invention. In the 19th century, poor Chinese-American rail laborers celebrated their Moon Festival by swapping little hopeful messages in cakes, or when they had no cake, in biscuits. Chinese restaurant owners picked up on the idea as an opportunity to appease their American clientele who expected a treat after their meal. Today the crunchy crescent has gone Hollywood. These classic little Lenox silver beauties open with a hinge on the side, safeguarding a little bit of loot or a personal message. (You can use the pre-packaged fortunes, or write your own witticism on a strip of paper to tuck inside. Some brides use printed ribbons.) Prop a placecard in the crease. Perfect for weddings, graduations, reunions, corporate marketing or our favorite idea, marriage proposals. All six come in a single take away box. 1" x 2" closed
