so you can quench your thirst

It's not easy to be in online fandom these days! Work in the content mines is never ending. Kids won't get off your lawn. People continue being wrong on the internet. Not to mention, well... you know... everything else.

Whether your (web) battle is big or small, you know what they say: “wars aren't won on an empty tank.” And while you can always count on fandom to nourish your soul, who's nourishing your body?

For a limited time, we are!

From April 1st to the 10th, Fandom Cookies are (temporarily) here for you! Best part? They come in three different flavors—with gluten free equivalents!—to ensure that, in the best fandom tradition, everyone has something to eat.

Our cookies come in 3 flavors, each with a special selection of fortunes: "kinda vanilla", for the tasteful shipper; "chocolate doves" for those who like some spice; and "lemony prompts" for the scenario-ponderers who like their food purposeful.

Preorder items. Currently estimated to ship late May.

HTML's Cookie Challenge

Digital artwork parodying a YouTube video as if posted by the FujoGuide character Git, username StrawberryKitten, with an icon of Git winking at the camera. The title is ASMR: HTML eats cookies (10 hours) and the thumbnail is of the character HTML staring at his phone, munching on a fortune cookie, with jar after jar of additional fortune cookies behind him. He's got a variety of charms dangling off his orange phone case (matching his orange earbuds) including a duck, Sonic, a Mario 1-up mushroom, Pinkie Pie, and everyone's favorite spyware-riddled purple gorilla pal, BonziBuddy. His shirt is, horribly, the graphic design is my passion meme, featuring non-transparent frog clipart hastily pasted onto a dreamy cloudlike background, and adorned with lowercase, bright red Papyrus font stating the commitment to graphic design. Git's commentary on the scene for the video thumbnail is 10 hours straight?! He never looks up!!

Did you know? HTML ❤︎s cookies! He ❤︎s them so much, he can't help but hoard them all. Unfortunately, in our April 1st frenzy, part of his secret stash got scattered all over this website!

Can you help him gather them up? There may be a reward in store for you!

FAQs

The Cookies

Are these actual cookies?
Yes. Yes, they are.
What's in the box cookie!?

As with their traditional counterpart, each cookie contains a tiny slip of paper with a fandom-related fortune printed on it. Fortunes vary by flavor, but each box contains 8 (regular) or 7 (gluten free) cookies from a random selection of 10 fortunes.

Themes are:

  • Kinda Vanilla - Our "safest" option, with fandom-related puns, predictions, and wisdom.
  • Chocolate Doves - Our spicier option, where we take it up a less-safe-for-work notch! Will include some darker themes... if they let us print them!
  • Lemony Prompts - What's more delicious than a lemony cookie? A citrus-flavored (short) prompt to help you get your daily OTP intake!
What about ingredients and allergens?

Here's everything we know about nutritional and allergen information:

What are the ingredients?
The supplier provided the following nutrition facts label:

Total Fat: 0g (0% Daily Value) Sodium: 24mg (1% Daily Value) Total Carbohydrate: 7g (2% Daily Value) Sugars: 4g. Protein: 0g. Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

Contains wheat, produced in a facility containing dairy, and nuts. Vegan Cookie. Chocolate: Sugar, vegetable oil, cocoa, nonfat milk, milk, glyceryl lacto esters of fatty acids, soy lecithin, and salt.
Keep in mind, however, that this label is for a wide variety of fortune cookies. We can be more specific about the three flavors we're offering!
What are the Gluten Free ingredients?
According to the supplier, Gluten Free ingredients are:
  • Water, Sugar, Gluten Free Flour (Rice Flour, Rice Starch, Potato Starch, Xanthan Gum, Locust bean gum), Soy Lecithin, Vegetable Shortening, Vanilla, food coloring.
What is the source of the vegetable shortening?
It is confectionary shortening, from soy and cottonseed. It does not contain coconut.
Are the cookies vegan? Do they contain eggs or milk?
These fortune cookies are vegan and do not contain egg or milk. It is an egg-free facility. The chocolate fortune cookies we are selling do not contain milk; other cookies from the supplier are dipped in milk chocolate, but these are not.
What is "egg shade" then?
Egg shade is referring to the color, which is yellow (like an egg yolk) but does not contain egg. It is derived from annatto. Some people with peanut or tree nut allergies may have crossover sensitivity to annatto. Please err on the side of caution when ordering.
Are the cookies certified kosher? Are they certified halal?
At this time the fortune cookies are not certified kosher, nor certified halal.
Are the fortune cookies produced in a nut-free facility?
No, the facility is not nut-free. The supplier did tell us, however, that they often supply to schools and have never heard of anyone having any issues. Because the facility uses M&M’S (which are produced in a facility containing nuts) they are trying to be extra cautious. Please err on the side of caution when ordering.
Could you please provide info about the FDA's 9 major food allergens?
Of course! Here they are:
  1. Milk: The fortune cookies we are selling do not contain milk. The facility does contain dairy. (Other fortune cookies from the supplier are dipped in milk chocolate.)
  2. Eggs: The fortune cookies do not contain eggs. The facility is egg-free.
  3. Fish (e.g., bass, flounder, cod): N/A
  4. Crustacean shellfish (e.g., crab, lobster, shrimp): N/A
  5. Tree nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans): The supplier does not use tree nuts. Some people with peanut or tree nut allergies may have crossover sensitivity to annatto, which is used in the "egg shade" yellow food coloring. Please err on the side of caution when ordering.
  6. Peanuts: The facility is not nut-free. Because the facility uses M&M’S (which are produced in a facility containing nuts) they are trying to be extra cautious. Please err on the side of caution when ordering.
  7. Wheat: Wheat flour is used in the traditional fortune cookies.
  8. Soybeans: Soy is present in the soy lecithin and the vegetable shortening, which is from soy and cottonseed.
  9. Sesame: The fortune cookies do not contain sesame.
What if I have another question about the ingredients?
We asked as many questions as our team could think of, and the supplier was very kind and accommodating. Please email us at contacts@fujocoded.com and we will ask the supplier your question, too. Please err on the side of caution when ordering; we want everyone to be safe!
Why only seven gluten free cookies?

Unfortunately, gluten free cookies are significantly more expensive than regular ones. With eight cookies per box, our margins would be so tight we'd risk losing money if anything went wrong!

Once all orders are in, we'll consider adding an extra one... as a treat! ;) Sign up to our socials or newsletter to keep up to date!

When will these ship?

For obvious reasons, we can't order the cookies until all orders are in. Then, we'll need a few weeks for production and delivery before we can start packing! Currently, we estimate shipping will begin late May.

...can I get a discount?

We'll just leave this Patreon link here. You know... for no reason at all.

What are Fortune Cookies?

Fortune cookies are crispy, sugary, delicious cookie wafers. Each one is folded around a tiny strip of paper with a printed fortune, which can be read after breaking the cookie.

Brought to the USA from Japan, fortune cookies are now a staple of American culture, traditionally offered as an end-of-meal treat in Chinese restaurants. Popular Chinese-American chain Panda Express gives out almost 300 million of them every year.

HTTP Cookies are bits of information sent between a web server and a browser, typically alongside content like HTML. They can be used to remember and transfer details about the state of the application, such as login credentials, shopping cart items, or user preferences.

Nowadays, alternative mechanisms (like localStorage) exist for information that should remain exclusively on the user's own device.
