WKD is a very gay drink, just look at those homoerotic adverts, it's clear what their target market is.

Hot Vimpto. True comfort drink.

Although cheeky Vimto does it too!

'WKD is a very gay drink'

Not with port in. That makes it a very butch drink.

have a can of vimto by my side right now. I must admit it was a toss up between that and a bottle of Duvel and quite rightly the vimto won. 😀

1" Vimto, 1" cheap whisky , both in pint glass. Top up with hot water. Great in the bath after a cold ride.

Vimpto trumps all other cordial based drinks.

Hot. Cold. Must try it wi booze.

Went away from blighty for a year once and the only thing (including family) that I missed was Vimpto.

And when you're really thirsty and you neck a pint it makes you go 'aahhhhht' (gasping sound) more than inferior drinks.

Best when it's on special in the shops. Fill the garage with it. Delightful.

Vimto rocks!

Way better than Ribena

But, if we're talking about red colour fruit based drinks, RED WINE it is.

Vimto is class, but it must be the diluting stuff, not the weak fizzy pop.

Theres something a bit crazy in fizzy vimto burps, a different species of burp to any other carbonated sugar fix. I'm sure some of the burp somehow manages to exit through my tear ducts

found out years ago by mixing irn bru & Red Cola it makes Tizer, try it if you don't believe me.

I always have to get a can of vimto to go with a chippy for some reason. As Al says the Diluting stuff is nicer.

Nothing but the magical purple juice graces my Camelbak

I remember when you could only get Vimto oop north. We were at school and one of my mates moved to Devon. Every time he came back home afterwards he would fill the car boot up with crates of Vimto.

It was a more innocent precursor to the Booze Cruise

Vimto is brilliant.

Salford cheecky vimto is blue WK, port and a shot of vodka. About £6 but it's good stuff.

Sat here with a hot vimto as I speak. Amazing stuff, in fact it got me through my 24solo rides this year.

Hot Vimto got me through many freezing winter days when I worked on an outdoor market in my youth. Love the stuff!

I've never tried it, what does it taste like?
I know most things taste of chicken, but surely chicken soup has cornered the market in chicken flavoured beverages, so I guess it taste like something that isn't chickeny.

Junkyard, you're being mischievous. - as you well know, Its not north of anywhere in particular.

As to acknowledge that it was 'north' of anything would fail to recocgnise it as an independent nation state within an arc of prosperity. Both industrial and financial powerhouse, and socialist utopia

Nirvana basically

That's right isn't it TJ? Have I covered everything? 😉

I had Cherry Vimto the other week, it wasn't as nice as normal Vimto.

I was devastated.

Vimto and lemonade just doesn't work. It sounds like it should but it's not at all nice.

Best made quite "strong" with corporation pop and ice.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. You should have bought a bottle of the "cordial" that you dilute with water to taste.

Tried the cherry variant this morning with my brekkies. Not bad, but prefer the original.

Really? I'm not keen, the can was vile. Partner quite happily drinks red bull ( the weirdo) and even she thought it was grim

Fizzy vimto is nice, but the bubbles are radioctive compared to other caronated beverages. Rumour has it that they're from the coolant water at Sellafield 🙂
