Why people drink Vimto at Ramadan

Does it contain alcohol?

Is blackcurrant the same as raspberry? I notice it on the label

There is still carmine color?

It's weird seeing Vimto in a fancy packaging.

The first ingredient is sugar. Not a healthy drink.

Thanks for this; I must say I was wondering . . . Vimto is a big seller in the neighbourhood Walmart here in Canada and its stocked in the 'Middle East' aisle rather than the 'UK' food aisle. I was also surprised quite recently to note that the product we buy here is made in Saudi Arabia.


Regional/national preferences are always interesting. A few years ago I was intrigued to see that Ribena--which is an old-fashioned blackcurrant cordial--was a real crowd-pleaser in the Eastern Caribbean, even though that part of the world has some of the best fresh fruit in the world. For myself, I've always liked Vimto and usually have a bottle in the back of the 'fridge . . . it certainly goes down well on a hot day and would be an excellent drink to break a fast! :o)

Just tried the Vimto Jelly Babies for the first time today, ^_^.

This is funny for me watching this as a Mancunian. 🤣

I couldn't find it in Azerbaijan

This is poison I suggest people stop drinking it

Because it is red, we have long tradition with red especially drinks.

i hate vimto! Yuck

Grew up Sunni Muslim in the States and never heard of it. Trying it for the first time in a can in soda form. Not bad, but really sugary. Reminds me of Hawaiian Punch.

This is the most popular drink in the Arab world, I do not know why we do not drink it and we do not talk about it except in Ramadan, all social media platforms start making memes and pictures and talking about Vimto in Ramadan!

Here in Pak and India we have Rooh Afza or Jaam e Shereen As "Vimto"

Lol I was drinking vimto while watching this

Ramadan mubarak to all my muslim brothers and sisters

Vimto's popularity is like the craze for Roohafzah in the subcontinent specially India and Pakistan. We can't imagine an iftaar without having a glass of chilled Roohafzah with it.

You didn't actually explain how it became popular. It is imported into the ME. It's sweet. So are most other drinks.

This is my dad’s favourite drink in Ramadan.

It is so good

This is the best drink I have ever had way better than coca cola

I’m doing it right now

Fun fact : in a year 15 million bottles of Vimtos are sold but in Ramadan itself another 15 million are sold

I love it

Don’t forget sunquick!

Vimpto

so its syrup

E

As somali it is in our blood to drink vimto

No wonder why Gulf Arabs have high obesity and diabetes rates

I chug this stuff and im a white guy in ny. It's unbelievably good
