fish biscuit

A term for reward that doesn't match up to build-up and or effort required to obtain it.

The term is derived from the Season 3 premiere of LOST, where an incarcerated Saywer spends most of the episode solving an elaborate puzzle only to be rewarded with a fish-shaped biscuit.

That whole season of Dallas was a dream? What a fish biscuit.

I worked 75 hours a week for 3 months to win the proposal and my boss gives me a $15 gift card to Wicks 'n Sticks? What a fish biscuit.
