Let's go back to the 1970s….

As reported -

The fan favourite Australian burger first realised in the 1970s will be making a return to coincide with Hungry Jack’s 50th anniversary.

What’s a Yumbo you might ask? Well, if you were born after 1990 you might struggle: the burger was a Hungry Jack’s staple during the 1970s and 1980s, before being discontinued in 1991.

Consisting of five slices of hot ham and two slices of melted cheese on a sesame bun, the Yumbo will again be available across Australian Hungry Jack’s stores from next Tuesday for $3.

      Why going backward when we should be going forward. Are they run out of idea? How about
      Hungry's Jack Greek style Souvlaki,
      Hungry's Jack Vietnamese style BBQ Chicken
      Hungry's Jack Chinese style Roast Pork with chilli sauce
      Hungry's Jack Big size Sushi with load of tempura fish
      Hungry's Jack fried rice with garlic prawns …etc

    this is a sandwich not a burger

    • madu187 on 16/04/2021 - 14:29

      The ham would have to have been cooked at some point, so surely that would make it a burger?
      Or must it be hot when served?

      • Intoxicoligist on 16/04/2021 - 14:54

        So at some point as it cools it goes from a burger back to a sandwich?

    • shroomish on 16/04/2021 - 14:34

      They give you the hot ham, the burger is within you.

    TIL Hungry Jack's used to be a Subway

    “Loved them and they were about twice the size of the burgers today and 50 cents,”

    So now it'll be twice as small and six times more expensive.

    • Merlict on 16/04/2021 - 13:53

      six times more expensive

      Not really. Back then you could buy a house in Sydney for 50c!

    I expect all of the 'ham' to be in a flat clump and occupy between 30 and 60% of the bun size.

      Which old grilled chicken? They have kept the one from the 90s with the ranch sauce, but not as prominently. It's in the current vouchers though.

        Agreed. Everytime I have gotten a grilled chicken Burger lately the chicken is so over cooked it is like rubber. And that is from different HJ locations over the course of a year. I’ve given up.

        How about bring back the original spicy nuggets that they used to carry and the original onion rings.

        Here is a photo of the original nuggets-

          The old nuggets were the best, but they probably got too many complaints from people who don't think nuggets should have any flavour.

      • ymottomttdl on 17/04/2021 - 10:30

        the grilled chicken they have now is nothing like the old one. The old one had a processed chicken pattie while the new has a fillet of chicken. The old bun was different. Can't comment on the sauce because I haven't had the new one since they first brought it out and it made me sad.

    • aj01 on 16/04/2021 - 16:58

      Yes! The burger buns on the grilled chicken were so unique to HJs but they gone back to using the standard buns.

    What’s a Yumbo you might ask? Well, if you were born after 1990 you might struggle:
