While coming from the French, it's in the OED:

<blockquote>
 c. tout de suite    [de suite in sequence] , at once, immediately; cf. toot sweet adv.
1895   E. Dowson Let. c13 Nov. (1967) 319   If you see Moore tell him that I am writing tout de suite.
1971   Ink 12 June 14/3   Some of the underwriters quietly told their clients to resell their shares tout-de-suite.
</blockquote>

In the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, there's a candy called Toot Sweets, the candy you whistle, the whistle you eat -- hard candy in the form of a whistle.
