Since when did fortune cookies

Since when did fortune cookies become ads? I went to one of my favorite chinese food places for dinner tonight for some chicken fried rice. I opened my fortune cookie to find that [My] determination will bring [me] much success (hah, what determination?) and that Smart cookies like [me] are a fortune at eBay's Half.com. Great, now even the (non-)fortune cookies are trying to sell me something.
