# Fortune Cookie — Meme Lab

Use to package a prediction, tiny piece of advice, or suspiciously convenient claim as mock fortune-cookie wisdom.

- What it expresses: Authority through packaging: an ordinary opinion is presented as if fate delivered a concise prophecy.
- Example: A friend predicts the delayed bus will arrive the moment everyone orders a taxi, so you frame the guess as today's fortune.
- When not to use it: Avoid when quoting verified guidance from a qualified source; the joke depends on flimsy prophecy or bite-sized pseudo-wisdom.
