Certified analysis of snack-based prophecy. Every fortune is official. Every fortune means exactly as much as the last one.
The Institute of Snack-Based Prophecy exists to crack open fortune cookies under laboratory conditions and certify whatever sentence happens to come out.
Every crack generates its own Fortune Number, its own permanent entry in the public record, and — on every fifth cookie — a Golden Cookie, whose rarity is likewise certified.
Fortunes are selected using a random number generator the Institute describes as "advanced" and declines to describe further.
No cookie is read for flavor, freshness, or nutritional content. The Institute is not that kind of institute.
Prophetic Accuracy has never been measured, because measuring it would require at least one fortune to come true, and none have.
The Institute considers this a feature, not a limitation.
Cookies may be cracked again, indefinitely, by pressing Crack Another. The Institute does not limit how many prophecies one person may ignore in a single sitting.
The Institute of Snack-Based Prophecy is provided for entertainment purposes only. No actual cookies, fortunes, or futures were harmed, consumed, or meaningfully altered in the making of any certificate.
