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.

    the word "Yumbo" has the same pronunciation as the word "Pu ssy" in cantonese.
    So let say if my friend asks me, let go eat some yumbo? does he really mean he wants some burgers or something else?

    • Yummy on 16/04/2021 - 15:28

      I like the name.

    $3 looks like what it’s worth. Why is this a bargain?

    • Hintswen on 16/04/2021 - 21:43

      Same reason all the other full price "bargains" are allowed.

    The Yumbo was brilliant, its the burger that made me love hungry jacks - late 70's West Aust.

    I was born well before '90 and I don't recall these at all. Nor do I recall Hungry Jacks in Australia until the mid 80s. Did it open somewhere other than NSW first? When I was a kid in the 70s it was either Maccas, Kentucky or Pizza Hut. Don't recall HJ until around the mid 80s.

    • pennae on 16/04/2021 - 15:17

      We definitely had them in WA, and copied in school canteens!

      • apsilon on 16/04/2021 - 15:34

        Apparently first store was in Perth in '71. TIL. Didn't come to NSW until '81 and VIC '86

      • Cordova on 16/04/2021 - 17:37

        I have zero recollection of it, despite going to Hungry Jacks and even having a birthday there in the 80s.

    • Cheapskate Paul on 16/04/2021 - 15:17

      I arrived in Australia (Adelaide) in 1974 and our first meal in our new country was Hungry Jacks. And Yumbos were good.

    • iluvpizza on 25/04/2021 - 17:45

      HJ didn't open in Melbourne till late 80's, not sure about Sydney, been in SA & WA forever

    How is rrp new menu in a restaraunt a deal?

    So anytime new menu in restaraunt, new movie at cinema, new shop opening is a deal?

    • [Deactivated] on 16/04/2021 - 15:43

      Yep and don't forget all pre orders are deals

      if it's a good price then yeah sure

      • pennypincher98 on 16/04/2021 - 17:46

        5 slices of ham and 2 slices of cheese on a bun isn't a good price for $3 sorry.

        That's exactly what I would have at home for much less. Unless your one that likes to eat pre-made sandwiches then I guess this is good.

    Are you serious, why not bring back the OG grilled chicken burger.

    As someone from WA who was born in the same year as HJs I can honestly say that, while it is not a great burger, it is the taste of my childhood. This was my original go-to burger as a kid.

  • Gaz1 on 16/04/2021 - 16:05

    If this is true & authentic to the original it will be amazing!!!
    Mind you it could be like a lot of fond memories I have in my childhood - no where near as good as I remember (looking at you modern Wagon Wheels….).
    Could we see a Apple-style queue of GenX's outside HJs if they do a midnight launch?

    I like lot Hungry Jacks stuff. It’s filling cheap and fairly tasty. Don’t know how good it is for you.

    One those sometimes foods. Like once month at the most.

    But that burger looks disgusting. They retired it decades ago. Their must have been reason.

    Looks more like “Yucko” burger

  • Hintswen on 16/04/2021 - 21:43

    Is phone fine?

    • Yummy on 16/04/2021 - 22:28

      Phone is fine, if you put it between the hams.

    Hungry Jacks used to make this swiss cheese mushroom burger years ago (like 30 years ago) and it was amazing. I wish they would bring that back.

    Yumbo's were great, especially trying to scrape all the melted cheese of the polystyrene, good times!

  • seedyrom on 17/04/2021 - 18:56

    I could handle this being chucked into a sandwich press at the end for a couple of minutes.

    Anyone find the details on the actual ham yet, is it turkey ham or real ham

    • sa-ozzie on 23/04/2021 - 19:38

      Real turkey ham

  • ttacx on 18/04/2021 - 23:00

    That is the coolest name for a burger

    Great move HJs

  • Guybrush57 on 23/04/2021 - 18:25

    Had one of these today. The cheese was not melted at all. The 'burger' was cold.

    0/10

  • trueaye on 27/04/2021 - 18:34

    I tried it and it was good. I didn't expect much over a ham and cheese sandwich but it was good.

  • SirFlibbled on 27/04/2021 - 21:29

    Just bought this tonight to try it.

    It's a shitty ham and cheese sambo. No melted cheese. Not hot. I'm angry I spent $3 on this crap.
