Wicked Game

MissChief's Forfeit Cookies

You will live a rich and rewarding life. (With your mortgage? Yeah, right.) You will bring happiness wherever you go. (If only your cranky-pants neighbour agreed.)

Fortune cookies can be so off the mark. (And they taste like cardboard.)

Not so with MissChief’s Forfeit Cookies — guaranteed to make any party swing. Each box contains a rule card and twelve chocolate-dipped sugar-wafer curls. Inside each biscuit, a piece of paper holds a cringe-inducing missive; you could be forced to act like a monkey, juggle or deliver a side-splitting comedy routine. Choose from ‘Original’, ‘Hen Night’ or ‘Intimate’ cookies (and discover a whole new meaning to the word ‘foreplay’).

Playing air guitar on the dinner table may not make you feel any better about your future.

But we’d venture to guess you’ve suffered worse in the past.
