I'm not sure where this idea came from to turn it into a GASM. I think it evolved after the EGGGASM and it was decided in general amongst my kids people will take anything you give them for free and if there is food, they may pay a bit more attention.
Anyway, I have found a place online which will do 300 cookies with up to 17 messages for free. They don't require a set up charge, which in my research seems to be a big expense, as well the number of messages, 17, is better than anywhere!

So, I present the fun option of CookieGASM!!
if one doesn't mind making the messages oneself, the cookies are resonably easy to make.
mmmmmmmmmmm now this is a GASM I can get behind. Though I must admit...I'd probably just end up eating the cookies myself. :D

We thought about that seriously, I have made fortune cookies before. However, I didn't want to hand them out unwrapped. These come pre-wrapped in the sealed plastic. We figured more people would be willing to take them that way.
This sounds like a hell of a lot of fun!
300 cookies for $40? Not bad at all.
I didn't go all the way through to see what shipping was though.
so where would we plant these cookies?
We passed them around at the Pagan Picnic this past weekend.
My oldest loves to take a handful and pass them out at the metro. He says watching all the people who are high read their "fortune" is the best lulz he gets when going public trans. He also used the Freedon is a Verb with Vote for John for class president last year in his campaign.
My other son took a bunch into class for snack. His teacher was a little weirded out but hey.
We've ordered them four times now and I've not been disappointed.

Hell, he's smarter than me... I didn't even know Freedon was a word, let alone a verb!!

maybe I'll leave them all over the place in bundles at the soon-to-be old barn, when I move to the new barn. :lulz:
a) get a job at a chinese restaurant,
or,
b) do the all you can eat chinese buffet. they usually have a dessert bar with fortune cookies (round here, least.)

What kind of world are we living in when people won't accept homemade cookies?
This idea is pretty sweet. My local chinese takeout place has the cookies with all the sauces on the bar, so they could easily be placed and replaced.
Heh, this could be fun,
Though it could be slightly more expensive, or possibly illegal, you could replace the contents of boxes of fortune cookies at supermarkets.
Also, reminds of Ross Noble, where he once said his fortune was, "You have AIDS"
