Vimto or Vimpto

[Woopthereitisman]

How do you pronounce it?

For me, I say it like ‘Vimp-toe

Is this a Northern thing?

Also, can we agree a cold pint of Vimto is one of the best drinks ever

It was one of my (northern) dad’s favourite drinks and he always called it Vitmo to be silly. We’ve carried that on now he’s no longer with us, so much so I sometimes struggle to remember its proper name 😄

@TulipTuesday Aww 💓

Well I'm northern and say vimto

I've only ever heard it as vimp-to but I'm also northern.

I'm northern. I've never, ever heard of vimptoe.

I pronounce it with the p sound even though I know it's spelled Vimto. It's just the natural way to say it. I always thought of it as a Scottish thing

Vimp-to for me too & not Northern. Used to love it till they swapped out the sugar & put sweeteners in.

Northerner here, Vimto!
Ooh, after saying it a few times, it's like a p sound is subtly there 😳

@TulipTuesday that's lovely. Will think of that next time I drink some

@ShinyPrettyThings87 You see 😂

Also Scottish and yes, a definite light p sound in the pronunciation

Oooh I love warm vimto in autumn.

Don't know how I say it (ex. Northerner)

Horrible stuff, but no p in it regardless. (Southerner who’s lived in the north for thirty years)

I say Vimpto, as that's what everyone called it when we were growing up in Manchester.

Agree it's Vimpto - southern Scotland.

Just asked the 15yo & now he's very upset cos he's said 'vimto' too many times & is no longer sure HOW he says it

Vimto is purest Manchester/Lancashire in a glass/mug 😂

It's not Scottish.

I mean the pronunciation not the actual origin of the drink 🤣

That’s a good description, not a strong p but slightly there. Scottish.

I’m Scottish and VimPto is the greatest soft drink alive! Have you ever found a pub that sells it on draft?! Sheer joy I tell thee!

@19lottie82 I have! They sell it on draft in Cosmo's if you have one of them near you (the world buffet place)!

I have been to Cosmo! And drank my body weight in Draft Vimto. I also love Dr Pepper and my new fave is Orange Mirinda, it’s something about the medicine like after taste that drives me wild.

PS Food Warehouse does a case of 24 cans for a tenner, or 3 cases for £24

Scot.

I say it both ways. But if I'm not concentrating it's Vimpto.

Vimmy in our house and if we can’t get it (we live abroad) we have to settle for “Rola-Vimmy”
IYKYK 😂
