Noda's Fortune Cookies Guide

Lab Ray Fortune Cookie

The Lab Ray Fortune Cookie was released on April 26, 2012. It grants a week of 1-3 extra lab zaps per day at the Lab Ray.

This cookie also has an official FAQ on the Neopets support site.

How to Use

This fortune cookie can be activated from your inventory. After activation, you simply use your extra zaps at the Lab Ray as you would normally zap.

You are not able to open additional cookies while one is active. You'll need to wait for your current cookie to expire before opening more.

Side Accounts

In August 2025, TNT updated an official FAQ to state that Lab Ray Cookies are allowed on side accounts.

The item's description still says that "This cookie can only be used on main accounts." However, this appears to be out of date in light the FAQ update.

Effect

For 7 days from opening, you'll receive 1, 2, or 3 extra zaps per day. To use these zaps, you simply need to zap your pet (or another pet) another time. Your cookie does stack with your base zaps, meaning regular users can have up to 4 zaps per day total, and Premium users can have up to 5.

If you're using Jellyneo's handy Lab Ray Logger, our logger will automatically record these extra zaps for you.

The cookie has no effect at the Petpet Lab Ray; it only works at the regular Lab Ray. (However, you can also get extra zaps at the Petpet Lab Ray by using a Petpet Lab Ray Fortune Cookie.)

Fortunes

You'll also receive one of the below fortunes:

• Get a zap of your dreams or a zap of disaster!
• The best zap you receive is always the last. After that, you quit zapping.
• The secret to staying youthful is to zap oneself Baby with the Lab Ray.
