“Fast food” is only one letter away from being “fat food.” “Whoever snuck the ‘s’ in ‘fast food’ was a clever little bastard” is a jocular line that has been printed on ecards.
“Whoever snuck the s into fast food was a clever bastard” was cited on Twitter on May 3, 2012. “Whoever snuck that ‘s’ into fast food, was a clever little bastard!”—adding the word “little” to “bastard”—was cited on Twitter on that same day.
