How come the little bits of paper tucked inside fortune cookies don't turn crisp and brown when they bake 'em?
it's because the fortune from the fortune cookie is protects the virtue and honor of the paper. It is also a little known fact, that if you eat the fortune cookie with the paper without opening the cookie to check your fortune, you increase your chances of the fortune coming true by 12.3%

Actually, in all seriously, I have no idea. I think your question falls more into the element of science than chinese culture.
