The promise

  • Free to reserve
  • Free to cancel
  • No payment today

Reserving takes an email, not a card.

Changed your mind? Just skip checkout. You owe nothing.

Once orders are paid

  • Cookie no good? We fix um.

    Send us a photo and we’ll replace the cookie or refund you.

  • Straight dates

    We ship your order by the date we post, or we refund your shipping. We can’t promise when USPS delivers it.

Allergens

We’ll list the ingredients and allergens before the first batch ships.

Until that list is up, we can’t speak to allergies, so please wait for it.

FAQ

Do I pay when I reserve?

No. Reserving takes an email and a pack choice. No card, no payment, and it’s free to cancel: just skip checkout. We’ll email you first when it’s time to check out.

What’s in a pail?

One 32 oz white takeout-style pail with a round Bummahs sticker, and five individually wrapped fortune cookies. All five fortunes are misfortunes, five different ones. Not one is lucky.

Who is it for?

Anyone from Hawaiʻi, wherever they live now, and the people who love them enough to tease them. Cousins, coworkers, friends, you.

Is it mean?

No. Every fortune passes the Auntie test: nothing crude, nothing mean about anybody’s body, family or background. We only tease the situation: traffic, slippahs, ants.

Are these real fortune cookies?

Yes. Real fortune cookies, individually wrapped. Only the fortunes are junk.

What does “Bummahs” mean?

It’s what you say when life hands you junk luck. Rain on laundry day? Bummahs.

Can my shop carry Bummahs?

Yes please. Start on the wholesale page.
