Misfortune CookiesMisfortune Cookies are great fun and have become very popular among skeptics. Many cookie manufacturers and local Chinese restaurants are able to create fortune cookies for you but you also have the option of making them yourself. A pre-superstition bash meeting to gather volunteers together and make misfortune cookies might make for a very enjoyable event in itself. You may choose to distribute the cookies to Superstition Bash participants throughout the event, and also make them available for sale in bulk quantities. Bags of misfortune cookies could also be included as one of many prizes in other bash activities. Of course, misfortune cookies can be used in a variety of other skeptical events, as well as for general fundraising purposes.
