Ham and cheese fans will certainly be pleased with Burger King, as the chain has announced the return of the YUMBO. The large ham and cheese sandwich debuted in 1968.

6 years later, it was removed from Burger King’s menu. Fast forward 4 decades and the company has announced the YUMBO is back at its more than 7000 restaurants nationwide with a suggested retail price of $3.69, and will also be a part of the two-for-$5 menu at participating restaurants.

Fans of the Yumbo have been calling for its return for years. In addition to that, the company was pretty successful in reintroducing chicken fries in 2014 and the hope is that Yumbo will also be a hit as well.

2013’s Burger King franchisee of the year, Tom Walsh Jr. remarked “The YUMBO Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwich was a favorite I remember having as a boy in my dad’s restaurants and I know our guests are going to love having it back and sharing it with their own kids.”

Burger King officials have not said how long the ham and cheese sandwich will remain on the menu.
