There's A Secret Hidden Under Every Cocktail Umbrella

Not only do cocktail umbrellas add some extra sparkle to your favourite drink, apparently they could also tell your fortune.

The decorations were first produced in 1932 and are made up of paper, cardboard, a toothpick and a plastic ring.

Not many people know that if you peel back the parasol, a hidden message lies under it!

A little scroll is concealed under the cover of each miniature umbrella and contains a unique message.

Chinese manufacturers take small snippets from newspapers and place them beneath each collar.

Legend has it, that translating the words can reveal your secret fortune - that's if you can translate it!
