feel joy and sadness and anger.

0:09

Definitely some disgust. Rose! And I think a little

0:11

fear. Ah! Ah! Really?

0:14

But I'm also feeling these new

0:16

emotions, like anxiety, embarrassment, envy, and

0:18

ennui. It's what

0:20

you call the boredom. OK, that one was

0:22

1:48

What's that? My AI typewriter fortune

1:51

cookie writer. But I think it's

1:53

broken. Listen to this. It

1:58

wrote, chasing the cat will. never end

2:00

in popcorn. What does that mean? I

2:03

have no idea! See, it's busted! Hold

2:05

on, Joy. There's gotta be a way

2:07

to fix it. Aha!

2:12

Here's your problem. Oh,

2:14

my slinky! I've been looking all over

2:16

for that. It should work now. Give

2:19

it a try. Okay. TFCW,

2:24

will I host a podcast today? It

2:30

says you've been hosting all along.

2:32

It's magic! Welcome

2:41

to Forever ago from APM Studios.

2:43

I'm Joy Dolo and I'm here

2:45

with Harlem from Charlottesville, Virginia. Hi,

2:47

Joy. Hi, hi. Can you believe

2:49

the new season of Forever ago

2:52

is finally here? Right? You know

2:54

what they say. Season five are

2:56

all the wiser. At least

2:58

that's what this fortune cookie says. Oh

3:00

yeah, that's a classic. It's like time

3:03

flies when you're having fun or spill

3:05

the mayo. Isn't it don't spill

3:07

the beans? Who would want to

3:10

spill beans? Legumes give you life.

3:12

Mayo, on the other hand, should be

3:14

spilled in the garbage where it belongs.

3:17

Oh, that's right. I forgot.

3:19

Mayo is your mortal enemy.

3:21

Along with sporks, mismatched socks,

3:23

and angry goldfish. What are they so

3:25

angry about? No mayo, sporks,

3:27

or angry goldfish. Got it. But

3:30

back to fortune cookies. Our studio

3:32

is covered in them. Yeah.

3:35

Where'd you get all these cookies in

3:37

the first place? Uh, Harlem, that is

3:40

a great question. Uh, where I get

3:42

all of my accidental impulse purchases? The

3:45

internet. I was actually trying to order

3:47

100 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, but

3:49

I clearly misordered. Well,

3:51

cookie mistakes are my favorite kind

3:54

of mistakes. Oh, mine too. It's

3:56

just like Cheryl Crow says. They're

3:58

my favorite mistake. I

4:01

think she was trying to say cake, but she said

4:03

mistake. She made a mistake. And

4:05

actually, it's perfect timing because today

4:07

we're talking all about fortune

4:09

cookies. Fortune cookies are those

4:12

little folded cookies with a piece of paper inside.

4:14

You usually get them at the end of a

4:16

meal at a Chinese restaurant. Or when you get

4:18

takeout. Right. Sometimes they

4:21

even serve them at other Asian restaurants. Harlem,

4:23

have you ever had a fortune cookie before?

4:25

Yeah. How would you describe it to somebody

4:27

who's never seen one? It's like a

4:29

folded cookie with paper inside.

4:32

It's like beige with

4:35

kind of like air pocket specks in

4:37

it. And it looks crunchy. And

4:41

a little bit smaller than your fist. What

4:44

do you think they taste like? Like crunchy,

4:47

kind of like an egg roll, not too sweet,

4:49

not too savory. Have you ever had a fortune

4:51

in one that you remember? I

4:54

think is one that is like don't think

4:56

too deep about a simple problem. Oh,

4:59

that's a good one. Okay, I'm going to ask

5:01

you about your process, your process of fortune cookies.

5:03

Do you read the fortune first, then eat the

5:05

cookie? Or do you save the fortune until after

5:07

you've eaten the cookie? I say you

5:10

like crack it in half. You take the fortune

5:12

out, you eat the cookie, then you read it.

5:15

Oh, eat the cookie and then read it and then

5:17

your dreams come true. That's a good process. Well,

5:19

the fortune cookie is so much more

5:22

than a fun dessert. It's a tale

5:24

of immigration, innovation and cultures melding over

5:27

decades. For most of us, when

5:29

we think of fortune cookies, we think of Chinese

5:31

food. But it turns out if you went to

5:33

China, it'd be a lot harder to find fortune

5:35

cookies than you think. That's because

5:37

fortune cookies aren't from China. So

5:40

you might be wondering if the fortune

5:42

cookie isn't from China, where did it

5:44

come from? Well, the origin of the

5:47

fortune cookie can actually be traced

5:49

back to Japan. It

5:51

all started in the late 1800s, over 120 years ago. The

5:56

light bulb had only just been invented

5:58

and electricity was hardly in any... homes

6:00

yet. Bicycles were really taken off

6:02

and a snazzy new attraction called

6:04

the Statue of Liberty had just been

6:07

built in New York City. And

6:10

in Kyoto, Japan, people were selling

6:13

a special kind of cookie in

6:15

bakeries. These cookies were made

6:17

almost like a pancake. Someone would pour

6:19

batter onto a hot griddle and then

6:21

fold the warm cookies by hand. First,

6:24

they fold the circle in half into

6:27

a semi-circle, then pinch it in the

6:29

middle. It's the same shape as we

6:31

know fortune cookies today, but the original

6:33

Japanese cookies were a little different. Yeah,

6:36

they were a bit darker in color,

6:38

similar to toffee or peanut butter, and

6:41

a little bigger. When they were folded up,

6:43

they were about the size of the top

6:45

of a soda can, and instead of having

6:47

the paper fortunes inside the cookie, they were

6:49

on the outside pinched in the fold. The

6:51

fortune stuck out where the two corners met.

6:54

It was like the cookie was

6:56

a clothespin for the fortune. Exactly.

6:58

And instead of being sweet like

7:00

today's fortune cookies, they were more

7:02

savory flavored with miso paste or

7:04

sesame. So these cookies thought they're

7:06

starting in Japan. And they were

7:08

brought to America thanks to immigrants.

7:10

Immigrants are people who move to live in a

7:13

new country. My parents are actually immigrants and they

7:15

immigrated to the US from Liberia and West

7:17

Africa in the early 1980s. Harlem,

7:20

do you know anyone in your family

7:22

who immigrated? My mom immigrated to the

7:24

US as a teen. She

7:27

was 16. She immigrated there

7:29

from China. Oh wow. Did your

7:31

mom bring parts of her Chinese culture

7:33

with her when she immigrated? I mean

7:35

like we used to make dumplings like

7:38

once every year. But like

7:40

we kind of like stopped doing

7:42

that recently. Do you still remember how to make

7:44

them? Well I just remember like the little cut-out

7:46

circles and then you just put the like

7:48

the stuff in like the filling in and then you

7:50

pull water on the rim edges and then you just

7:52

like pinch it together and then

7:55

they stick. Hmm was there a certain thing that you

7:57

would put in the middle? Mostly

7:59

like a sort. and then some vegetables

8:01

and like sometimes chicken. Oh, that

8:04

sounds so good. That's actually making me really hungry. Okay,

8:06

so when people immigrate to a new place,

8:09

they bring their culture with them, like

8:11

different foods, traditions, music, you name

8:13

it. In the late 1800s, there

8:15

were a lot of immigrants coming

8:17

to the United States, including lots

8:19

of Japanese people. Many of

8:21

these Japanese immigrants came to California and

8:23

some of them likely brought the fortune

8:25

cookie recipe with them. So that's how

8:27

the fortune cookie got to America. Yeah,

8:29

we don't know all of the details

8:31

though. Lots of different people claim to

8:33

have invented the American version of the

8:35

fortune cookie we know today. But

8:38

one popular theory says it started

8:40

with a man named Makoto Hagiwara.

8:42

Hagiwara immigrated from Japan to San

8:45

Francisco in the late 1800s and

8:47

managed the Japanese tea garden. I've

8:50

heard of that place. It's a huge park with

8:52

lots of gardens and a special house for drinking

8:54

tea. Right. As

8:56

the story goes, it was Hagiwara's idea to

8:58

serve fortune cookies to customers at the tea

9:00

house. Back then, they were called

9:02

tea cakes. I

9:04

have an excellent idea. What now,

9:07

Hagiwara? What if we put the

9:09

fortunes inside the tea cakes and

9:11

serve them to customers? It'll

9:13

be like a little surprise inside the

9:15

tree. Paper inside? That'll

9:18

never fly. But

9:21

it did fly. Workers at the tea

9:23

garden started making the cookies by hand,

9:25

just like they were made in Japan.

9:28

And they were totally a hit. They were

9:30

so popular that Hagiwara's staff couldn't keep

9:32

up. So he had to hire

9:34

a bakery to start making the cookies. Okay,

9:37

so now we know how fortune cookies got from

9:39

Japan to America. It was

9:42

likely thanks to Japanese immigrants like Hagiwara. Right,

9:45

and over time, the fortune cookie changed. Customers

9:48

in the US were used to sweet, buttery cookies.

9:51

So the people making the fortune cookies tweaked

9:53

the recipe. They made the

9:55

cookies smaller and sweeter Than

9:57

with vanilla and butter, instead of sesame

9:59

or miso. They figured these new fortune

10:02

cookies would appeal more. To American eaters

10:04

wow the fortune cookie best scrumptious

10:06

ah but of a know off

10:08

oh it's not a lot of

10:10

was almost as American as an

10:12

eagle wearing as how I had

10:14

a minute save for i doubt.

10:19

It made sense. Butter and sugar

10:21

were more common. desire. Angry as

10:23

here in the Us. All this

10:25

fortune cookie talk has really got

10:27

me crazy enough. Ah of fortune

10:29

cookie. Lucky for us really really

10:31

surrounded by. then let's have some.

10:33

It's. Okay, mine

10:35

says happy news is on. It's

10:38

way too! I can't wait to

10:40

hear what it is! What about

10:42

you Harlem? Mine. Says there

10:44

might be again a new suit.

10:47

That cookie is right because.

10:49

It's time for. Is

10:57

the game or we try to get the

11:00

order Things came in history today. We're testing

11:02

our luck with these three cookies. Thin

11:04

Mints the popular men's in South That Girl

11:06

Scout Cookies. Sort bread which are

11:09

those super buttery cookies and snicker doodles.

11:11

The soft cinnamon he cookies that are

11:13

both fun. To say and it's fun

11:15

to eat Okay Harlem with Susan came

11:18

first which came seconds and with came

11:20

most recently in history So I think

11:22

like the shortbread may follow you can

11:24

first has more like a skit I

11:26

for hims oh yeah yeah I think

11:29

of the like a little more rudimentary

11:31

and like just like node Top Things

11:33

is just like. Butter Cookie. Yeah,

11:35

yeah, that's that's a great guess that

11:37

led them to sell it. A Cracker.

11:39

Like a Cracker Biscuits. Yeah, I

11:41

think the snickered at all would

11:44

have came next because or cinnamon.

11:46

It probably. Didn't have that much cinnamon linking

11:49

cookies and polluting is a popular so like

11:51

I think they're just like size of the

11:53

new to see the hit. Yeah yes we

11:55

have. Shortbread first and then snickered little And

11:57

then to think sediments would be last. hey.

12:00

Yeah, because if you really think about it, it would

12:02

be pretty hard to make a

12:04

mint flavor that would actually taste

12:06

more like mint as we know

12:08

it today than like the

12:11

mint plant like actual leaves. Yeah, yeah,

12:13

it'd have to be like really, what's

12:16

the word I'm picking up? Like not processed but...

12:18

Artificial? Yeah, yeah, maybe more of an artificial mint

12:20

because it is kind of light tasting so you have to

12:22

make a whole bunch of it. Yeah. And

12:25

I bet it was pretty interesting to be like, hmm,

12:27

I wonder if mint and chocolate would be good together.

12:29

Yeah. So out of all three

12:31

of these, shortbread, snickerdoodle, and cinnamon, which of

12:33

these is your favorite? Cinnamon. It

12:36

has to be cinnamon. That was so quick.

12:39

Especially the Girl Scout ones. Yeah, those are really

12:41

good. I have to say, I really

12:43

like all things plain. Like I like

12:45

vanilla and I really love like shortbread.

12:48

I really like vanilla too. It's like one of

12:50

my tops on there. How do you feel about

12:52

mayonnaise? Don't like it. I don't

12:54

really like sauce in general. Harlem, I just knew

12:57

we were going to get along great. Anyway,

12:59

so okay, back to the game.

13:01

So you said shortbread, snickerdoodle, and

13:04

cinnamon. And we'll hear the answers after

13:06

the credits. So stick around. Listeners,

history would you like to learn more about? Maybe

13:21

there's a certain invention, person, or time

13:23

period you're curious about. Harlem, what's

13:25

something you want to learn the history of? Holes,

13:28

14:57

So. What are they arguing

14:59

about? Or

15:03

polls. Are

15:06

just remembering in Nineteen Forty nine. Mister

15:10

Potato Head went into production a

15:12

pivotal toy in allowed people child

15:14

it's and I was googling right

15:16

now or Mr Tomato and the

15:18

first the it comes up is

15:20

did you mean Mister Potato Head

15:22

Oh. It's.

15:30

Out almost. Search

15:37

for Smash Them Best wherever you get

15:39

your podcasts. Though

15:49

I'm joy. It. applies today which

15:52

a fortune cookies even though you're

15:54

probably used to seeing fortune cookies

15:56

in chinese restaurants here in the

15:58

us they're not from China. They're

16:01

actually from Japan, and they've been here for

16:03

more than around 100 years. They

16:05

were introduced to America by Japanese immigrants,

16:08

like Makoto Hagiwara in San

16:10

Francisco. The cookie changed a

16:12

lot since coming to America. In Japan,

16:14

they were flavored with miso paste or

16:16

sesame. And the fortunes were on the

16:18

outside, tucked in a fold of the

16:20

cookie. But when the cookie came to

16:22

America, bakers made them smaller and sweeter,

16:24

and the fortunes went inside the cookie.

16:27

So far, we know how the fortune

16:29

cookie traveled from Japan to America. But

16:31

you might be wondering, if the fortune cookie

16:33

is from Japan, why do we

16:35

think of it as Chinese? And why does it

16:38

come with Chinese food in the U.S.? To

16:40

learn more, we talked to Jennifer Aitley. She's

16:43

a journalist, filmmaker, and author. She also

16:45

wrote an entire book about the history

16:47

of fortune cookies. Jennifer says one reason

16:49

we might think of fortune cookies as

16:52

Chinese is because back in the day,

16:54

a lot of Japanese immigrants

16:56

owned restaurants that served Chinese food,

16:59

not Japanese food. So what's really

17:01

interesting is that fortune cookies probably

17:03

jumped originally to Chinese restaurants because many

17:06

Chinese restaurants, once upon a time, were

17:08

operated also by Japanese people because you couldn't

17:11

open a Japanese restaurant in the 1920s in

17:13

America because they

17:15

were not interested in sushi or raw fish.

17:18

So in order to survive, you'll find that a

17:20

lot of restaurants

17:23

were Chinese in

17:25

name, but Japanese in ownership. Lots

17:28

of Japanese immigrants were running Chinese restaurants to

17:30

make a living. And that's one reason why

17:33

we might think of fortune cookies as Chinese

17:35

instead of Japanese. But there's more to the

17:37

story. Fast forward a few decades to the

17:39

1940s. The

17:43

whole world was wrapped up in World

17:45

War II, including the United States and

17:47

Japan. Except these two countries

17:49

were on opposite sides of the war. In

17:52

1941, the Japanese military attacked a

17:54

U.S. Navy base in Pearl Harbor,

17:57

Hawaii. After the attack, there were

17:59

rumors that Japanese military officials were not interested in Japanese

18:01

Americans were spies. But these rumors

18:03

were based on racist lies. There's no

18:05

evidence to support that Japanese Americans were

18:07

spying for Japan. But even though

18:09

the rumors weren't true, the U.S. government

18:12

decided to take action anyway. President

18:14

Franklin Delano Roosevelt ordered over 120,000 Japanese

18:16

Americans to leave their homes and live in camps. That

18:22

way the government could monitor them. We

18:24

now call them internment camps, but they

18:27

were basically prisons. People weren't allowed

18:29

to leave, and many couldn't contact their families

18:31

to tell them where they were. Many

18:33

of these people were American citizens, but

18:36

they were forced to leave everything, their

18:38

jobs, homes, and belongings. That

18:40

meant these Japanese immigrants who had opened

18:43

businesses, like restaurants or bakeries, had to

18:45

leave them behind too. Internment

18:47

uprooted thousands of people and changed

18:50

their lives forever. As World

18:52

War II came to a close,

18:54

the U.S. government started releasing Japanese

18:56

Americans. The last camp closed

18:58

in 1946. Many

19:01

of these Japanese Americans never got to

19:03

reopen their businesses, including some of the

19:06

bakeries that made fortune cookies. While

19:08

Japanese Americans were held in camps,

19:10

Chinese Americans were still running restaurants,

19:13

and some started making fortune cookies too.

19:16

Over the next couple of decades,

19:18

many of these Chinese American restaurant

19:20

owners helped make fortune cookies more

19:22

popular than ever. And it's Chinese

19:24

Americans who helped fortune cookies become

19:26

popular. That's partly because they invented

19:28

machines that could fold the cookies

19:30

and put paper fortunes inside. These

19:33

machines meant people could make cookies

19:35

much faster, and as Chinese food

19:37

grew in popularity, so did fortune

19:39

cookies. Jennifer A. Lee, the

19:41

journalist who wrote a book about fortune cookies, says

19:44

the sweet treat is a product of so many different

19:46

cultures. Jennifer A. Lee, the journalist who wrote a book

19:48

about fortune cookies, says fortune cookies are a treat for

19:50

the Chinese. The

20:00

cookies and is how we know them today

20:02

of all right here in America and this

20:05

happens all the time with foods especially food.

20:07

Introduced by immigrants. They change

20:09

and adapt to become something new, like

20:11

how immigrants have to adapt to a

20:13

new culture. It's true. Like. Having

20:15

to learn a new language and new

20:18

customs or having access to different ingredients

20:20

or getting used to a completely different

20:22

climate just like people change the food

20:24

chains to And Jennifer says there are

20:27

lots of other examples of these kinds

20:29

of this is. General Sounds Chicken

20:31

Sassy Popularize here we have. Broccoli

20:33

is a very American. This because

20:35

Americans love broccoli. American promptly actually

20:38

came to America through Italy. It

20:40

became popular and like the Nineteen

20:42

twenties, And they're even more

20:44

examples of this like spaghetti and

20:46

meatballs, which is from New York,

20:48

not easily popularized by Italian Americans.

20:51

America really is a melting pot, isn't

20:53

20:55

lots of awesome suits. Ah agreed

with like this. Boards and cookies.

21:00

21:03

it's time to take creative

21:06

risks. oh, I love creative

21:08

risks. Like using jazz hands

21:10

21:12

speaking with an upward inflection.

21:15

Or. Making impulsive purchases on

21:17

the internet jewelry? Not again.

22:21

the time is here. Are you ready

22:23

to hear the answers for First Things

22:25

First? Yes, definitely. Are

22:28

you excited? Me too.

22:30

Okay, so as a reminder, we're

22:32

putting these three cookies in order

22:34

of when they were invented and

22:36

your order was shortbread, snickerdoodle, and

22:38

thin mints. Okay, let's see what

22:42

the answer is. Oh

22:48

no. What? Oh no, Harlem. You

22:51

got them all right. Let's

22:53

go. Let's go. You

22:57

did it. That's amazing. Okay, so

23:00

shortbread was first. It's the oldest in history.

23:02

It's from the 12th or 13th century. And

23:06

though it's surely not the only place

23:08

shortbread-like cookies were being made throughout history,

23:10

many people credit the Scottish for

23:12

creating the shortbread we know and love

23:14

today. A crisp, crumbly cookie made from

23:17

butter, flour, and sugar. Originally,

23:19

Scottish shortbread was made from leftover bread

23:21

dough that was baked twice. So the

23:23

result was harder and less sweet than

23:25

what we know today. That

23:27

is incredible. I love shortbread cookies and my husband

23:30

is 50% Scottish. So I feel

23:32

like it was just meant to be. Eh, you

23:34

did a good job is what I mean. Next

23:36

up was snickerdoodles. The

23:38

first recorded recipe was in the late 1800s. The

23:42

exact history of snickerdoodles isn't known, but

23:44

many believe a version of the cookie

23:46

was brought to America by Dutch German

23:48

immigrants. There are many theories

23:50

about where the name snickerdoodle comes from. Something

23:53

is from a German treat called schnäcken

23:55

noodle, which translates to snail noodle. It's

23:57

a type of cinnamon bun wrapped up.

24:00

Like a snail. Okay, last really

24:02

not least is sediments Like you

24:04

guessed and that was invented in

24:06

Nineteen Thirty Nine and thin Mints

24:09

were originally called cookie Mints and

24:11

went through many different versions of

24:13

the name like supplements and thin

24:15

mints. With no es minds you

24:18
