When I was elementary school in the early to mid-80s, my cafeteria offered a ham and cheese melt on a hamburger roll as the “alternate” to the hot entree. All these years, I wondered why the menu listed it as a “Yumbo”. Now I know!

Since the regular hot entree on Monday was usually a school grade hamburger, I was a big fan. Thank you Mayfield Elementary School for keeping the Yumbo alive! And thank YOU, Retroist, for satisfying my four decades-long curiosity.

I saw other Yumbo mentions. Glad to get a personal confirmation of the term being applied outside of the BK.
