The news ticker.
The News Ticker is a visual, and further on in the game, a gameplay element, which displays messages about your current Cookie Clicker legacy, appearing at the top middle of the screen, in-between the Option, Stats, Info, and Legacy tabs. The News Ticker mainly displays news about your cookie production and how it has affected the economy, but some messages are completely unrelated. As you continue to gain cookies in Cookie Clicker, different messages will appear. The message automatically changes every ten seconds on its own, and it can also be manually refreshed with a click. After purchasing the heavenly upgrade Fortune Cookies, there is a chance that an automatic message will be a clickable fortune.
Cookie Based
The following messages are based on the amount of cookies you have earned (total). They progress in order, only showing the one that best fits the amount of total cookies you have earned.

Fortunes
After purchasing the heavenly upgrade Fortune cookies, the news ticker has a 2% chance of telling a fortune (4% with the O Fortuna achievement). Fortunes only appear when cycling naturally; cycling the news ticker by clicking never results in a fortune. Fortunes are easily identified by the fortune cookies icon and green text.

|
There are 26 possible fortunes; 24 upgrades and 2 bonuses. When a fortune would appear, a random fortune is selected from a pool, excluding already unlocked upgrades and already triggered bonuses. This means each fortune will keep appearing until it is unlocked/triggered in that ascension. If O Fortuna is owned, each unlocked upgrade has a 40% chance of carrying over in the store when ascending.

Removed
The quote "Your cookies are popular with your dog"could have been removed due to cookies having chocolate in them.
The following two quotes were added in reference to the COVID-19 pandemic but were later removed. In the code, Orteil comments as to why he removed these lines: "these were written back when covid hadn't really done much damage yet but they just feel in poor taste now".
- "News : scientists advise getting used to cookies suffusing every aspect of life; "this is the new normal", expert says."
- "News : doctors advise against wearing face masks when going outside. "You never know when you might need a cookie... a mask would just get in the way."
Trivia
- Orteil accidentally mispluralised 'reindeer' as 'reindeers' at the release of the Christmas Update, hence the quote, "scholars debate regarding the plural of reindeer(s) in the midst of elven world war."
- The quote "'I have seen the future,' says time machine operator, 'and I do not wish to go there again.'" may refer to the Grandmapocalypse.
- The quote "Strange twisting creatures amass around cookie factories, nibble at assembly lines" and "Ominous wrinkly monsters take massive bites out of cookie production; 'This can't be hygienic', worries worker" are references to the Wrinklers that spawn during the Grandmapocalypse.
- The quote "scientist predicts imminent cookie-related 'end of the world'" may be referring to the Grandmapocalypse.
- Despite having a unique appearance on Business Day, Banks (Investments), Temples (Likes) and Wizard towers (Memes) do not give a news ticker message on Business Day in v2.0.
- During Business Day season the Messages associated with the Cursor (Rolling Pin) only appear if you own more than one Grandma (Oven) because of a programming error.
- The quote 'People all over the internet still scratching their heads over nonsensical reference : "Okay, but why an egg?"' may be a reference to the 'egg' upgrade found during Easter.
- The random nature of some headline templates allows for ridiculous headlines such as "News : all crayfish turned into crayfish in freak magic catastrophe!".
- Sometimes, you may get a headline that says, simply, "undefined". This can also occur if a corrupted/modified save file is imported.
- The cookie based messages past "Strange creatures from neighboring planets wish to try your cookies." can't be seen.
References
- The quote "do not settle near portals,your children could become corrupted inside" could be a reference to the warp in Warhammer 40,000, where the beings of chaos live in portals and cause insanity and other ill effects.
- The message "Cookie factories involved in chocolate weather controversy!" could be a reference to the Tay Zonday hit "Chocolate Rain".
- The quotes "If you could get some more cookies baked, that'd be great" and "So. About those TPS reports" are both references to the movie Office Space.
- The quote "Your cookies bring all the boys to the yard." is a reference to the song "Milkshake" by Kelis.
- Both quotes regarding the Business Day theme parks are references to the Rollercoaster Tycoon series.
- The quote "News: strange kittens with peculiar opinions on martial arts spotted loitering on local beet farms!" is a reference to the character Dwight Schrute from the TV series "The Office".
- The quote "It's cookies all the way down!" is a reference to the popular saying "It's turtles all the way down!", possibly originating from Bertrand Russell attempting to convince an old woman that the world is not balanced on top of an infinite regression of turtles.
- The phrase: ""Can't you sense the prism watching us?", rambles insane local man. "No idea what he's talking about", shrugs cookie magnate/government official." is possibly a reference to PRISM surveillance program.
- The quote "News : drama unfolds at North Pole as rumors crop up around Rudolph's red nose; "I may have an addiction or two", admits reindeer," is a reference to snorting cocaine or heroin.
- The headline template where your bakery name is interviewed by someone can have the host/hostess name be based off an actual host (i.e. David Letterman) but with the first letter of their first name and surname (if there is one) being replace with or coming after the letters "Bl". This naming scheme of these randomized hosts names may be a reference to the Youtube video "BLONIC " made by Joe Gran.
- The message ""Ook", says interviewed orangutan." could be a reference to the Librarian in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. The Librarian was a human wizard turned into an orangutan due to a magical accident. He enjoyed his new form so much that he refused to let the other wizards turn him back. Although he could only say "Ook", a number of people claimed to understand him perfectly by the way he said it.
- In the "Word of the day" section, "blags" and "wobsites" may be a reference to this xkcd.com webcomic.
- The "average person bakes [Cookies Baked this Ascension/7.3Billion] cookies a year." ticker is a reference to the popular meme "Spiders Georg"
- The rare headlines reading "You have been chosen. They will come soon," "They're coming soon. Maybe you should think twice about opening the door," and "The end is near. Make preparations," are all based off of prank calls you can get in the first The Sims game.
- In the code for the same rare headlines, where the 0.1% chance is located, there is a note that reads "apologies to Will Wright". Will Wright designed the original The Sims game, where half these headlines are from.
- The message "nation cheers as legislators finally outlaw memes!" is likely a reference to the European Union's Article 13 (later renumbered Article 17) which would effectively ban many memes.
- The message "News : viral video 'Too Many Cookies' could be 'a grim commentary on the impending crisis our world is about to face', says famous economist," might be a reference to the Adult Swim dark comedy special Too Many Cooks.
- The news item about cookie particles being found in steel is a reference to how modern steel is contaminated with radionuclides due to the increase in background radiation caused by nuclear weapon tests.
