Smart Cookie is Smarter Than an Average Cookie

Smart%20Cookie%20GI.jpg We are all familiar with the magic 8-ball and the fortune cookie, but what happens if you put the two together in one device? The Smart Cookie is the result; a fortune telling cookie that dispenses answers to life's most pressing questions with quirky witticisms such as; try the eggroll, answer sweet and sour, future sticky like rice and you don't wonton know. Well, lets try it out:

Q: Oh wise Smart Cookie, pray tell, will the forthcoming Year of the Rat bring prosperity for us?

Ans: Future sticky like rice.

We thought the Year of the Rat would have been different. We thought that maybe once, just once, we wouldn't be mass debating ~~with~~ about gadgets all year. Who are we kidding? We wouldn't have it any other way. [Product Page via Nerd Approved]

Hey, if I want my Fortune told I'll go with the evil Swami Fortune Teller. Didn't Shatner show us the folly of asking for our fortune?

@bbfreak: Best "Third Rock From the Sun" episode ever: Shatner and Lithgow comparing their "man on the wing of the plane" experiences.

Good stuff!

Unfortunately the craftsmanship of the little fortune telling dice is not on par with the design of the box or the cookie itself. Try to try it out before you buy it (unless you just want to take it at the face value of a funny decoration) but it's entertainment value is serverly diminised when you shake the thing and (over?)50% of the time it comes up with a corner of the dice instead of the w(s)hitty saying.

the one i played with might have been defective. YMMV :)

Me: Any last words before I beat you to death with a hammer?

Cookie: C'mon, man, I'm just doin' my job here...

*SMASH*

Me: Ah. So, that's how it crumbles...
