SEATTLE - A Seattle fortune company cookie has unveiled a line of cookies bearing messages on behalf of the U.S. Census Bureau.
Tsue Chong Co. said the five census messages, revealed during a Thursday ceremony, will appear on the flipside of 2 million otherwise commonplace fortunes inserted into the cookies, The Seattle Times reported Thursday.
The fortunes, including messages that "Real Fortune is being heard" and readers should "Put down your chopsticks and get involved in Census 2010," will appear in cookies distributed to restaurants and stores in Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho, the company said.
Bessie Fan, co-owner of Tsue Chong, said it was a "great thrill to partner with the census for such an important effort."
"The census brings advantages we don't think a lot about," she said.
The cookies are part of the government's $320 million media campaign to promote participation in the April 1 census.
Me bother you long time.

Heil, Soros!
What has this country come to when you can’t go out for some mu shu pork without being indoctrinated.
How will I know what lottery numbers to play?
Well we won’t be eating any of these for about 2 years until the messages run out. I find this disturbing that the government thinks propaganda in our foods is a good idea. Mr. BO is stinking up this country. No fortune cookies for us!
