Most Funny Vimto Soft Drink Adverts
Vimto is a soft drink sold in the United Kingdom. It was first manufactured as a health tonic in cordial form, then decades later as a carbonated drink. It contains the juice of grapes, raspberries, and blackcurrants, flavoured with herbs and spices. The original recipe was invented in 1908 by (John) Noel Nichols. Nichols grew up in the Lancashire town of Blackburn. It is often referred to as the rich man’s Red Kola.
Vimto has also been made into a sweet and an ice lolly. It is available in cans and bottles and as a draught soft drink in pubs.
Seriously Mixed Up Fruit is the new strapline for Vimto and replaced Shlurple the Purple in 2009. This campaign features anthropomorphized raspberry, grape and blackcurrant characters of unspecified East European/Russian origin, engaging in various activities which inevitably ends up with them being ‘splatted’… thus becoming the drink.
The character voices are performed by UK voiceover artist Christopher Finney.
On 26 April 2014, as part of a rebrand by Aardman, the fruits were replaced by the “Vimtoad”, an anthropomorphic red toad in a Hawaiian shirt that likes the taste of Vimto, which he describes as being “fan-flippin’-tastic!”.
In 2016, with the introduction of Vimto Remix, a rival to the Vimtoad was introduced known as the “Mixtoad”; the accompanying campaign showed the two toads facing each other in a Splatoon-style “Toadoff”.
