Pulling apart chicken wishbones after dinner is a pretty messy affair for making wishes. There is also only one piece per chicken. The Wishpaper solves both problems as it functions as a wishbone, and there are 100 sheets per pad to boot!

Each 4" x 5" sheet has a 1" slit at the bottom. The users write wishes on either side before grabbing a bottom corner to rip. Whoever has the bigger piece wins, and hopefully gets the wish as well.

If you struggle with indecision a lot, try their range of Decision notepads which works the same way. Their Love Paper will help sort out romantic decisions.
