Panda Express Fortune Cookie

The image shows a fortune slip from a Panda Express fortune cookie. Panda Express is the largest Asian-segment restaurant chain in the United States, founded in 1983 by Andrew and Peggy Cherng in Glendale, California.

The brand is a subsidiary of Panda Restaurant Group, a family-owned company headquartered in Rosemead, California. While the brand is synonymous with American-Chinese cuisine globally, the fortune cookies served in their restaurants are typically manufactured in the United States by specialized snack food companies like Wonton Food Inc., which is one of the world's largest manufacturers of fortune cookies. The fortune cookie itself is an American invention that originated in California in the early 20th century.
