One is an "ancient Chinese secret" and the other is a "sacred lie."
On one, (depending on the restaurant) you can also learn Chinese (granted it is the opposite of the immersion method and very slow) but still you can learn Chinese, and with the other, you can't learn "reformed Egyptian." BUMMER!

There's a TED talk that covers fortune cookies. They're Japanese, apparently. Japanese immigrants brought them here, got interned, and the Chinese took over.
