“I have abandoned my search for truth and am now looking for a corndog”

“I have abandoned my search for truth and am now looking for a corndog” is a jocular saying that has been printed on T-shirts. A T-shirt was posted on X/Twitter by Terius FX on October 5, 2024.
 
The corn dog joke is a humorous variation on the title of the book I Have Abandoned My Search for Truth, and Am Now Looking for a Good Fantasy: More Brilliant Thoughts (1980) by Ashleigh Brilliant.
