Not really, you can't describe the flavour. It's not really blackcurrant or summer fruits just Vimto. It's good warm or cold

Its top in winter especially in a man city mug or with a dunkable chewy bar 😄

An old black and blue man city mug from god knows when. I've had it many many years A white mug with a big letter H on it in black type. Its filled with hot vimto and next to a chewy vimto sweety bar

I don’t live too far from Bath and the tap water is disgusting. Have to filter it to make tea or coffee and I buy bottled water for drinking.

Well that MC mug would not be allowed in this house full stop! But expect it tastes just the same in a West Ham one ⚒️. M not seen the chewy bars she’ll have to look to see if you can get them down here. Sounds like the snack of dreams though 🤣🤣🤣🐶🐾😘

🤣🤣 Heidi sez you can have in of hers if not 😋 *Disclaimer* - a friend bought us this box for Christmas one year and we mostly gave them away to friends, family & neighbours because our teeth & hearts wouldnt appreciate them all and the risk of acute diabetes was too high 🤪

Best not then Billy! 🙈 That's the unfunny one isnt it? 😒 My grandad had it and wouldnt do his injections properly so my gran was always having to force glucose tablets between his teeth when he collapsed in the street. Stubborn doesnt even begin to cover him! 😖

I tried it earlier in the year. It’s got more of a strawberry flavour. We tried it hot, cold and fizzy. Don’t hate me, but we don’t like it as much as Ribena. 😱😬

Maybe water quality will be a factor? Like the French terroir and wine🤔 it only tastes right ( reet) with good northern water🤣🤣🤣

🤣😂🤣 very true!! I’m not sure vimto is a Scottish thing though. More north English. It was in cans when we were growing up, but I always got it confused with Dr Pepper (🤢) so avoided as a kid. Lilt, Tizer and Irn Bru were our drinks if we could get fizzy pop. Kia Ora our favourite squash.

Tizer was one Mum remembers most. They lived near the Barrs factory so they got Irn Bru. Most of their pop came from the pop man though. He came once a week and you got 5 bottles for 50p or so and 5p a bottle back. Mum remembers odd flavours like strawberry soda. 🤪
