She was from China and used to buy these huge "American grapes" over there somewhere. When she came to the US, she couldn't find them but was surprised to find fortune cookies. It was an awesome speech about learning others' cultures and questioning what you're taught about various cultures. It was really sweet!! :) I still remember this chick’s Toastmaster’s speech from ages ago called something like “Fortune Cookies and American Grapes.” She was from China and used to buy these huge “American grapes” over there somewhere.
