Did you ever have a Burger King YUMBO sandwich in the 70's ans 80's?

I hadn't heard of the Yumbo sandwich until recently when Burger King brought it back and advertised it.

Do any of you remember it from all those years ago?

I know that it did exist. Here is one link with people discussing it in 2007 and after. http://www.inthe80s.com/food/yumbo0.shtml

I'm guessing anyone who ate one back then is long dead.

I found a picture of it from the 70's. Looks like more of what I would expect compared to the current version.

I had one last week, I began to forget until you made this post. They are awful

Never heard of it until now.

My town got a Burger King in the late 70's and the newest Burger was their Italian Chicken sandwich --- which I miss .

For boiled ham on a hamburger, I miss the Roy Rogers Double R-Bar Burger

I don't remember it at all. However, in Detroit, we only went to A&W or Burger Chef. Once we moved to SC, the only thing I ever got at Burger King was their chicken sandwich or a Whopper.

I had two from their two for five deal. If you like a hot ham n cheese, you'll probably like it. I thought it was pretty good.

They don't exist anymore, Mikey! As a kid, I loved them. They had the best toy tie-ins! Their happy meal box was a landspeeder during the initial run of Star Wars.



These were the mugs they sold during the Star Wars theatrical run:



But those are just two examples.

I actually don't remember eating at BKs growing up. But then again, eating out was something we didn't do too often.

My mom says she don't remember these at Burger King.
