Why Do Some People Believe in ‘Fortune Cookies’ More Than Others?

Some people believe more in fortune cookies because they think the messages inside are special or true. Others might see them as just a fun part of eating a cookie. If someone gets a message that matches what's happening in their life, it feels like magic! But if they get something silly, like 'You will eat 10 pies today,' they might laugh and not believe it at all.
