Quiz Writer
Joselyn wasn’t too keen on multiple choice in high school. She vividly remembers the first biology exam she passed by only the skin of her teeth, which dragged her overall average down into the embarrassingly low 90s (she doesn’t want to talk about it). After swearing off any high school or university courses that required multiple choice tests, Joselyn managed to get an English degree by sweet-talking her professors into offering only essay-style exams. Needless to say, this did not exactly endear her to her peers. This rocky start smoothed out in time, though, and after tumbling down a black quiz hole one day while putting off job hunting, Joselyn realized her hatred of all things a-b-or-c had faded and she actually enjoyed dreaming up new ideas for questions and dangerously correct-sounding answers. You won’t find her quizzes an easy ride, but Joselyn just wants to make sure you’re really testing your knowledge.

The fortune cookie is an American invention?
Although many may consider the fortune cookie with its proverbial message and lucky numbers to be Chinese, it is manufactured in the United States. Wonton Food Inc. is the currently largest manufacturer of the fortune cookie, located right in Brooklyn, New York. Wonton Food Inc. makes 4.5 million fortune cookies daily. The other two large producers of the fortune cookie are in the Midwest (Bailey International) and Los Angeles (Peking Noodle). The American fortune cookie is made of flour, sugar, vanilla, and sesame seed oil, then a slip of paper is put on the inside. There is a Japanese version that goes as far back as the 19th century that appears to be like what is made today, but is larger and made of a darker dough/ The slips of paper are wedged in the crack of the fortune cookie unlike America who places it in the hollow of the cookie. In 1918, David Jung (the founder of Hong Kong Noodle in Los Angeles) claimed that he invented the cookie because he was concerned about the poor in the street. However, another man named Makoto Hagiwara claims he made the first cookie in 1914 in San Francisco with a thank you note on the inside of it. Nonetheless, it is still an American invention that has messages inside that can be altered depending on who they are marketed to.
