Etymology

Scrumdiddlyumptious is a word that was invented by famed children's author Roald Dahl from his novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The term soon entered popular usage and became a common way of describing very delicious food. Eventually, in 2016, to celebrate Dahl on what would have been his hundredth birthday, the Oxford English Dictionary included it in its quarterly update, making it an official part of the English language. In fact, the Oxford University Press put out a whole dictionary of words that Roald Dahl created or made famous.
