The saying probably refers to fortune cookies.
However, fortune cookies almost never contain anything truthful. Rather, they have ambiguous messages analogous to horoscopes that seem to be true because they lack specificity.
Examples:
There is a true and sincere friendship between you and your friends.
You find beauty in ordinary things, do not lose this ability.
Ideas are like children; there are none so wonderful as your own.
It takes more than good memory to have good memories.
A thrilling time is in your immediate future.
Your blessing is no more than being safe and sound for the whole lifetime.
Plan for many pleasures ahead.
If this or another answer here proves helpful in your research, you can encourage good answers by choosing one answer as the "best answer."

I've heard "The truth is in the wine" and "The truth (proof) is in the pudding", but never that one.
Fortune cookies, maybe? :-)
Good luck!

One of my favorite sayings, 'The proof is in the pudding'.
Meaning:
You have PROVEN and can demonstrate with repeatability, that a method is superior to another, do it that way.
