He said: "I'd put fortune cookies in the category of real-world objects that the writer encounters (even though the cookies include a text). Such objects aren't works and don't lend themselves to the logic of the works-cited list. The suitable approach is to describe them in plain language in the main text or an endnote, saying whatever the reader needs to know." I still like your fun with "eaten on...."
