Asten Does Nostalgia

β€”

Where nostalgia meets chaos, and Daisy won’t shut up about it

πŸ’œ Vimto: The Purple Icon of Our Childhood πŸ’œ

Technically still here β€” eternally filed under β€œback then.”

Yes, it’s still on the shelves, but for so many of us Vimto feels like a pure nostalgia drink β€” fizzy, fruity, and a tiny bit cheeky. The unofficial cool cousin of everyday squash.

πŸ₯€ The Vibe

It was never just squash. Vimto felt special: purple, a bit rebellious, and perfect for showing off at the disco or sharing in the park.

πŸŽ‰ Where We Remember It Most

  • School discos β€” a giant 2L bottle on the tuck shop table next to Panda Pops.
  • Packed lunches β€” a Vimto can or carton instantly boosted your cool by 10x.
  • Cinema trips β€” a jumbo fizzy Vimto + popcorn = peak luxury.
  • Corner shops β€” that purple label calling to you from the fridge.

πŸ“Ί The Ads

From fruity chaos to cheeky mascots, Vimto’s ads leaned into the weird β€” and it worked. If you grew up in the 90s/00s, those purple-soaked spots probably live rent-free in your head.

πŸ’– Why It’s Nostalgic

It still exists today, but it’s tied to a moment: childhood discos, after-school treats, and feeling a bit grown-up for choosing something different to Coke or Fanta.

Memory check: Was yours fizzy at the disco, squash at home, or the ads on telly?

πŸ’œ Vimto proves nostalgia isn’t only about what’s gone β€” sometimes it’s what stayed, but will always belong to β€œback then.”
