I heard from it the first time on the internet from Americans. Most Germans don't even know this urban legend. German is sometimes quite subtle.

There's some movie with Maximilian Schell where they're playing with that phrase. Schell stating that with Kennedy saying "Ich bin ein Berliner" he more or less admitted to be a "Schmalzgebäck".

Might just be more subtle with the NSA and other services sniffing around unchecked. They don't need public hearings anymore to utterly destroy reputations.
