This phrase originated from a review published March 11, 1986, with regards to the CBS sitcom Tough Cookies:

"Sometimes, when it’s not making you laugh, it can make you toss your cookies. The trouble with the show is that it’s trying to be believable, when the characters are unbelievable, to the point of being sappy."
