About

Yummer is the name given to a mysterious and creepy head which appears in the files of the Nickelodeon web browser game, SpongeBob Saves the Day. The character never appears in the game, leading many to wonder if the character was some sort of easter egg or was included for more sinister reasons.

Origin

On May 23rd, 2020, Twitter account @TheArtOfSpongebob,[1] a channel dedicated to archiving artwork and unused assets from SpongeBob SquarePants media, tweeted that they had found an unused asset file in Nick.com's 2019 web browser game SpongeBob Saves The Day of a creepy figure that its Discord community had dubbed "Yummer the Ghoul." The tweet has since been deleted (shown below).

Spread

The discovery quickly led to speculation as to what the figure could be. @TheArtOfSpongebob[2] disputed the idea that the figure could be a placeholder for another character because the character file was evidently submitted the same day as other, final character files. The discovery quickly led several YouTube creators to make videos about the discovery. On May 24th, 2020, YouTuber Vailskibum94 posted a video about the discovery, gaining over 186,000 views. On May 27th, 2020, YouTuber oddheader posted a video about the discovery and the dig into the Yummer mystery, gaining over 300,000 views (shown below, right).



Theories about Yummer include that it was supposed to be some sort of easter egg associated with cans of socks which serve no purpose in the game. As of May 28th, 2020, there has been no official explanation about the character.
