Have you heard these rules about fortune cookie?
 
If you get 2 fortunes in 1 cookie, they cancel each other out. The fortune from the next cookie is the one you will receive.

If you text your fortune to one person that is very close, the fortune can come true for both you and the person you texted!

You have to eat the entire cookie in order for the fortune (that came from the cookie) to come true.
Source: We've heard this rule from number of people over the years, and since there seems to be no connection between them (though we cannot be completely sure), we suspect this rule is fairly popular.
You cannot pick your own fortune cookie. (Someone has to give you a cookie)
Source: So far, we've heard this rule from only one person, but she heard it from someone else, so it may be widely spread than we know.
