TOO MUCH SUGAR FOR A NICKEL
Can you tell me where this saying originated?
Thanks, Fran O

I wondering if it has to do with the saying, "Ten pounds of sugar in a five-pound sack," about a woman wearing a dress that is too tight.

The way I heard it was a snide remark suggesting that perhaps a woman was giving more than just what could be seen and being rewarded for her total contribution. This was a very unPC remark.
