The Fortune Telling Miracle Fish has been a popular novelty item since who knows how long. You probably have fond childhood memories of these thin red plastic fishies that you put on your hand to tell your fortune, future, love-life, and mood. It's amazing how a toy so simple could bring so many people so much joy.

The fun part of the Fortune Telling Miracle Fish was getting a group of your friends together in your treehouse and asking the fish if the cute girl next door liked you. You placed the fish on your hand and wait for it to do its magic and then consult the back of the packaging to see what it said. While maybe not as useful as a magic 8 ball, it was still fun and offered a lot of bang for the buck considering how cheap they were. You can buy over a hundred of these things for like 5 bucks on Amazon (see link below). What a deal! You can pass a bunch out at your next party or social gathering and still keep a ton of them all for yourself.

It's a mystery as to how the Fortune Telling Miracle Fish works. It could be magic. The company that manufactures them claims that they're made of a space-age polymer that reacts to your body heat. How this translates into reading your romantic state however, is a secret that we'll likely never know...
