Delicious diabetes.

I once drank a 2 litre bottle of Irn Bru in a day.

Yeah, it tastes pretty good, but I doubt I could have a 2 litre bottle in a day lol.

I wish Oasis wasn't shit these days. They used to do really good drinks in the glass bottles.

Also, I wish there was a way I could get any of these pumped directly into my bloodstream. Especially the cola and dandelion and burdock.

You are all so wrong , TONICOL is the ONE :

The name ToniCol comes from the man who invented its formula: Antonio Espinosa de los Montero from Rosario, Sinaloa, around 1870. It is a blend of the shortened form of his first name "Toni" and the drink "Cola", even though ToniCol is not strictly speaking a cola but is actually a cream soda due to its vanilla flavour.

The soft drink's recipe calls for almost all-natural ingredients, including "concentrated natural vanilla extract", citric acid, sodium benzoate as well as sugar rather than corn syrup.


Sorry guys only in Mexico , maybe in some places south U.S.

 

[Kyoufu]

Don't think I give a shit about vanilla coke, even if it used some natural ingredients.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

We are all so right because we have sugar in or drinks.

Hilarious watching Americans QQ in their soft drink threads.

HFCS lol.

IRN BRU is king to be honest. Such a unique taste... actually, what does it taste of...?

HOT and cold running water is good enough for most families - but the Birds have their favourite soft drink on tap.

They are so hooked on Vimto, they have a tank full of the cordial buried in their garden so there is a constant supply in the kitchen.

Mum Mandy, 40, first became addicted to Vimto 14 years ago. Along with husband Clive, 42, and sons Daniel, 12, and Tom, nine, they guzzle 12 litres a week at their home in Timperley near Altrincham.

A specialist team from Vimto's Warrington manufacturers spent hours digging up Birds' garden to bury the tank. Pipes lead into the kitchen and when the tap is turned on, Vimto is pumped into a mixing chamber connected to the house's water supply.

Daniel and Tom like a glass of the sugar-free version every morning before they go to school.

Then they take flasks so they can top up at lunchtime.Mandy, a special support educational assistant, used to buy two litres of the concentrate each week.

She said: "I bought it one day and we just carried on drinking it and the boys have grown up with it. Vimto is lovely - it is just so different from the other drinks.

"I always buy the sugar free stuff and neither of my boys have any fillings.

"The Vimto helps because my youngest tends to make it a bit strong.

"Who knows, we might start a new craze!"

Daniel, a pupil at Wellington School in Timperley, said: "It is great to have it on tap. It tastes so nice and fruity."

A spokesperson for Vimto said: "The tank was a fairly simple installation, but we can't disclose how much it cost as it was a gift to the Bird family.
"It's a complete one-off, there's nothing else like this in the rest of the country."

Vimto was created by John Noel Nichols in a wooden barrel in his warehouse at 49 Granby Row, Manchester, in 1908.

It was intended to be a healthy pick-me up which gave those who drank it vim and vigour.

The drink is a mix of three fruit juices - grape, blackcurrant and raspberry and a blend of 23 fruit essences, herbs and spices.

It can be served hot or cold or made with carbonated water.

Vimto is defintely the best thig ever. I've never heard of hot Vimto though.

Fizzy Vimto sucks though, I always leave the cap half off so it'll get flat.

Warm vimto sounds nasty. Isn't that basically warm grape juice?

 

[longdi]

flavored drinks tasted disgusting if consumed regularly imo. do you people really live such a diet? i think for sweet tooth, something like natural squeezed lime/lemon and honey in ice is so much easier on the stomach.

Just put some Vimto in a mug, then use boiling water to top up.

Tastes surprsingly different but is delish.

Vimto is pretty much all I drink.

Rust, in a good way.

Fucking sex in a bottle, the D&B is to die for. And yes Vimto is wonderful.

 

[Jme]

Pretty sure vimto is sold in my grocery store (we have a WONDERFUL international section), I've always ignored it because of the awful name (vimto... really?) but now this thread has convinced me to buy some.

 

[Seth C]

this thread feels british

there is a lot of that going on this morning.

 

[killer_clank]

I like Vimto, but Irn Bru is simply the godliest drink ever created by man. Nothing comes close.

Ribena owns both.

Come at me, fellow brits.

Vimto cordial literally has the smoothest taste of a drink ever. No aftertaste, or sharpness from first contact, it tastes consistent all the way through.

The name just means energy tonic, its no Red Bull though it tastes a damn sight better.

 

[Always-honest]

Vimto must mean beer in some strange language.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I prefer Ribena

 

[mazeedibeedi]

Vimto's so awesome! Too bad I only have it during Ramadan.

Spoiler

Plus the tons of additives they add in other regions makes it even more awesome

 

[Smellycat]

Vimto is amazing!!

 

[Qasiel]

This thread has made me thirstier for Vimto. I'm going to pick some up on the way home tonight.

 

[marrec]

I don't know.

Therefore Canada?

 

[electricshake]

Irn bru is where it's at bitches. That and a good cup of tea are the things I miss most when I go on holiday.

Also Vimto is rank.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Sunny D is where it's at.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

disaronno bitches.

Vimto is great but my drink of choice is:

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Blackcurrant Ribena isn't bad, but I've always found it to taste kinda... "flat".

I dunno.

 

[Meadows]

Ribena is for pikey southerners. Yeah I went there.

But I'm from the north, have I been turned, what should I do?

Guess it's suicide for me then, oh well may as well take a Ribena for the road.

You must be from a northern place that isn't really northern, like Knutsford or Harrogate.

Mix 1/4 lb. of coal dust into a pint of Vimto and drink it ASAP.

Purge the Southerness out of your system.

Fixed?

 

[Stinkles]

I love Vimto so much I don't even care that it's an anagram for vomit.

Tizer is the best ever though, followed by Lilt.

Irn Bru, Tizer, Vimto, Lilt, Red Kola. I'm regressing.
