Eventually, this article should also address:

-When did the term enter common usage? Dagwood Bumstead was from 1933, he made sandwiches at least as early as 1944, but possibly earlier. But when did people outside the comic strip begin using the term "Dagwood Sandwich"

-When did Webster's New World Dictionary first include "Dagwood sandwich"?

OED says the term originated in the 1970s. Potatoswatter 03:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Holding together?

An olive pierced by a toothpick usually crowns the edible superstructure (though skeptics remain doubtful of the toothpick's ability to hold the sandwich together).

Toothpick? Are you kidding? It'd be a skewer, surely?

LOL. are there seriously sandwich "sceptics" out there who doubt the hold-a-bility of toothpicks in dagwoods? And if so, can this be cited, or otherwise removed/edited appropriately. 3th0s (talk) 04:50, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
