Meet YumYum, Toronto FC’s new unofficial mascot

Soccer celebrations get wild, especially if you call yourself “YumYum.”

Meet YumYum, fan of Toronto FC and the best trash can filler since Oscar the Grouch. The origin tale of this man is shrouded in mystery but we do know he’s our favorite thing about Canada’s first MLS team.

It starts simply enough. A bunch of fans are celebrating raging following their win over DC United and come across a solitary man in a recycling can. His name is YumYum, he comes in peace, he means no harm.

YUMYUM... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
