[1] He saw the market opening for soft drinks due to the temperance movement and the passage of the 1908 Licensing Act. [2] It was originally sold under the name Vim Tonic, which Nichols shortened to 'Vimto' in 1912. Vimto was originally registered as a health tonic or medicine, which was then re-registered in 1913 as a cordial. [3] [4]

To conclude, Vimto is low in syns, having around 2.5 syns for a full glass of their sugar included version and 0.5 syns for their no sugar version.
