Does to much optimism make your head hurt, do cheerful people make you grumpy? There may be (fortune cookie related) help for you yet. One fortune cookie company has launched a new line of grouchy cookies. These include cookies saying “It’s over your head now. Time to get some professional help.”
Fortune cookies have always aroused a unique brand of resentment. As long as you carry the slip of paper with you there is the smallest hope that tomorrow will be the day you get promoted. However, when tomorrow dawns, you are inevitably let down. This is probably because the demand for a "large sum of money" or an ambiguous "reward" has far exceeded supply, at least until they can be mass-produced in China.
It is a sign of our jaded society that even the most innocent and fragile delight has been transformed into a vessel of cynicism. But then again, maybe it's a good thing. A good wallow in self-pity inevitably results in a night of reality TV and any food that comes in paper cartons, therefore providing the Chinese food industry with brand loyalty.
C'EST MA VIE
