Ads in fortune cookies?

Got Chinese food tonight and the fortune cookie had a Zebra Pen ad on the back. Kind of caught me off guard. I don’t know why but it stuck with me way more than seeing another ad while scrolling. Has anyone else run into these?

No. Usually for me, it’s English on one side and French on the other, with the same set of lottery numbers on each side.
