"Villanova hates yum-yum sauce"

Containers:
Flat File 2
Scope and content:

The poster uses yum-yum sauce, a Japanese steakhouse mayonnaise sauce, to undermine Villanova. Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices. It is then implied that their lack of taste will be reflected in how they perform at GameDay.

While popular, yum-yum sauce was a short lived condiment on campus. It was removed from D-hall after a few years and is now remembered fondly by those students who were on campus at the time.
