Now this is a goddamn burger, people. Know it well.

Hungry Jack's Is Bringing Back The Yumbo Burger

Even if they have been gone for decades, some meals never leave the hearts of Aussies and if the public campaign hard enough, their wish is granted. Hungry Jack’s has announced the return of their iconic Yumbo burger! The Yumbo, which is essentially a burger filled with five slices of hot ham...

Happy 50th to HJs, but we did not need that back. It was discontinued for a good reason.

Too much concentrated awesomeness?

Yumbos were awesome - heaps of ham and mouth burning hot cheese

They will do these with lukewarm plastic cheese and they’ll be s**t

Yumbos are the Hawaiian pizza equivalent of the burger world.

Well maybe if you put pineapple in them

That article sounds wrong on the discontinued date. I'm sure they were around later than 1991.

A yumbo or a hj’s hot dog, one of life’s hardest choices when I was a kid.

 

[Biggie]

Well I’ve not known what a yumbo even was till just right now

Those of us enjoying Rove Live the night before were also quite peeved by the interruption

Haha, that was me. Rove went to an ad and literally never came back.

At this point, I think you're just saying these things to annoy me...

I saw the second tower go down on a ~10 inch black and white telly. I had the passing thought that someone had very likely watched the JFK assassination coverage on the same TV.

 

[FKASC]

you can bet they probably used better ingredients for those Yumbo abominations back in the day. It’ll be horrid now. Better off buying a toasted pizza sub on rye

 

[Into The Black]

Back in the day my old mate had two whoppers and a yumbo to finish. Tried one, too plastic back then, new version will be even worse.

Really ? Didn't know that.

I must admit, about 90% of the things I say on here are attempts at being facetious.

But I'm dead serious about take-away food. It's no laughing matter.

I can imagine they are something like the ham and cheese bagels from Muzz Buzz.

Good but terrible

Alien vs Aliens?

Aliens for me. Alien for the missus and my mate.

Who would have thought the sequel would be just as good as the original?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Some of you need to be careful; disparaging the Yumbo is a bootable offence.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Nah for real, never had a Yumbo in the same way I’ve never had polio or listened to a radio play.

And why are the kids in that ad so uncoordinated?

Polio?

I was at uni at the time. It was quite the experience watching literally every American student around me call back home regardless of where they were from and sitting up with them until about 2-3 in the morning just dealing with shock more than anything.

It was the first thing I ever saw in my life that I knew would change the world.

Basic and ham and cheese anything is so bloody overrated.
