Dick Sandwich is a seven-track EP released by Frenzal Rhomb in 1994. The EP is no longer available, but all of the tracks (with the exception of the untitled secret track: a backwards version of the final track known to fans as "?tsurT uoY naC ohW") appeared in remastered versions on the compilation CD For the Term of Their Unnatural Lives.
Frenzal Rhomb folklore had the band being told to "grow up" by the Australian youth radio station Triple J for the front cover artwork, which showed several penises in a sandwich on a plate. This story became ironic ten years later when singer Jason Whalley and current guitarist Lindsay McDougall became hosts of the youth network's breakfast programme.
In 1996, the now discontinued Australian magazine "Pump Candy" did their own spoof version of the album cover using staff from their magazine. All student journalists at the time, the penises were portrayed by various in-house writers and the slice of bread was performed by chief editor Lauri Cronvall. Controversy came when Lauri Cronvall announced himself as gay and became an adamant campaigner for Australian gay rights. Much to the shock of both Frenzel Rhomb and Pump Candy fans, Lauri Cronvall used the picture of himself covered in cocks to promote a positive gay image. A 2001 courtcase filed by Smash Studios ruled that Lauri Cronvall could no longer use his parody image due to defamation.
