For The King II giveaway. Looking for people to join my whitelist!

So, this is a newer one, maybe not a lot of people know about it, and I am not sure if this counts as a fact, but here it goes:

So in my country of origin (Venezuela), we have our own kind of chinese food, which is different from traditioanl chinese cuisine. We have our own way of making chinese rice and chicken. The thing is, since dictatorial goverment and emigration, there is a lot of venezuelans living in other countries craving for what a lot fo us thought it was the traditional chinese cuisine. So now there are places where I live now (Argentina) that are chinese restaurants, but "venezuelan chinese" and not "traditional chinese", which is very odd but fun :)

Anyways, I thought I would make it more interesting by telling a fun fact that I have witness instead of just googling and posting.

Do you still have room in your whitelist?

Did you know that the concept of fortune cookies, often associated with Chinese cuisine in the United States, is not actually of Chinese origin? Fortune cookies were likely invented in California in the early 20th century and are more closely tied to Japanese immigrants. They gained popularity in Chinese-American restaurants and eventually became a staple in Americanized Chinese cuisine. In China, fortune cookies are relatively unknown, and you're unlikely to find them in traditional Chinese restaurants.
