“Happier than a bird with a french fry” is a relatively new saying. There are several prints for “Happier Than a Bird with a French Fry,” such as “TODAY I WILL BE HAPPIER THAN A BIRD WITH A FRENCH FRY” (Studio Mela, Lake Minnetonka, MN) and “Today I shall be happier than a bird with a french fry!” and “you make me happier than a bird with a french fry.”
 
“I WILL BE HAPPIER THAN A BIRD WITH A FRENCH FRY” has been cited in print since December 2006.

French Fries Make Everyone Happy
March 10, 2009 by jenn
Again, maybe this is pushing it for a food blog, but I saw this print on Etsy and couldn’t stop laughing. It’s done by a local artist, Shelli (dazey chic) and available for purchase at her Etsy site. We’ve all seen a bird with a french fry, right? That’s Happy. Next time you’re down, just think about a bird. With a Fry.

Bird with a French Fry

A friend of mine often describes his mood as “happier than a bird with a french fry”, I thought it made a neat saying and decided to make a illustration/ desktop background with it.

Bird’s Eye View on Fast Food
Walking down Charles Street in Boston last weekend, I spied the following framed aphorism in a shop window:

“I’m going to be as happy today as a bird with a french fry!”
 
That’s a new one to me.  I began to think of just how happy a bird would be with a french fry in its beak.  And would such happiness last a day?
