Yum Yum’s marketing director told TVA the mascot is based on a child’s drawing for a contest. It was chosen by the company’s founder, who was of aboriginal descent, to go with the name he had given the company, “which, I am told, means ‘potato’ in Algonquin.” Really? The familiar expression “yum, yum” also happens to be the Algonquin word for “potato?” That sounded too good to be true. So, doing my duty as a journalist to, er, dig up the truth about the “yum yum,” I sent an email to the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation Tribal Council, which comprises Quebec’s seven Algonquin communities.
