Born in 1908, it’s now found in 66 countries, especially beloved in the Middle East during Ramadan, where it’s the go-to drink to break the fast. With regional twists—thicker, sweeter, and even flavored variants like Malt or Watermelon—it adapts to local tastes while staying true to its heritage. A humble underdog with a bold global presence, Vimto proves you don’t need a giant corporation to become a worldwide favorite. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
