The Yumbo in Perth Western Australia was a massive size ham and cheese burger (or roll) made by Hungry Jacks (the Australian name for Burger King) it wasn't a sandwich. It was yum! Red Bull another local gourmet food outlet produced a competitor called the Hambo it wasn't as big but just as tasty! I used to work at Red Bull (this was actually 1978). To make one (because Hungry Jacks don't make them anymore and Red Bull no longer exists) slice a white roll in half, fold in lots of slices of shaved ham, with 2 slices of Krafty type cheese and microwave on normal for about 45 seconds. Just had one this morning and it was delicious!

The Yumbo was a great sandwich. When I was in High School (1976) We used to eat at Burger King a lot for lunch. We always ordered a Yumbo and orange drink. They were a little messy but oh, so good!!

I really miss those yumbos! Bring them back!! I get the ham & cheese at Arby's with 3 little pieces of ham or Hardee's had the best also until the Hardee's went away there are only about 6 of them in the state of MN. I want a yumbo every day! I'm going to contact the marketing people at BK!!!!

I found out today that you can get Yumbos at BK again. Just order a Ham Egg & Cheese and hold the egg, has the old bun and all. 2008

If there's egg on it it's not technically a Yumbo!"Hold the egg on my Yumbo!"Let the cries ring out at check outs everywhere.Man,I want a Yumbo real bad now.

Or order it without egg and say "Know what you call that?" "No. What?" "That's a Godamn Yumbo now baby!"

I set my alarm...I'm so getting Yumbos for breakfast tomorrow. Might even get one with egg just for kicks. I'll ask if they have any Star Wars sticker books left.

I'd rather have a Yumbo than a friggin Whaler.Whalers had all kinds of nasty stuff on em.

Whalers stunk. They harpooned whales for them. My sister made me eat one and I threw it up. I want a Yumbo in all its styrofoam container greatness.

Ok, I'm on vaca in puerto rico and I'm happy to say the yumbo and whaler are alive and well here. Just had a yumbo, needed to google it when u got back cause I never heard of it before.

The Whaler was replaced by the Ocean Catch Burger in Australia because it was deemed politically incorrect. The name suggested whale meat was used which is a big no, no in Australia. Basically was a sesame seed bun, lettuce, mayo and a deep fried fish cake. Personally I liked them and they were far more fresh tasting than the equivalent Fillet O Fish at Maccas.

So I called 305-378-3535, this is BK's Consumer Relations Dept. I called today, and the lady who answered had no idea what I was talking about - so I gave them my ph# and asked if they could bring the Yumbo back. We'll see...........or you could just make it at home – but what fun would that be ????

finaly got my answer on this my favorite now how about kmart subs,and the heated sandwiches from the corner store before microwaves, remember them!

I loved the Yumbo and I worked for Burger King at the time. I made mine with lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo added to the original sandwich, it was very tasty that way as well

The Whaler was just a fish sandwich. They just changed the name but it had cod or haddock. Today, they use slag (cheap gray) fish for their sandwiches.
