About Vimto Bon Bons

About Vimto Bon Bons

The bag says share. Nobody in the history of the corner shop has read that bit.

Vimto Bon Bons are the chewy little sweets with the powdery coat and the taste of Vimto, the purple drink half of Britain grew up on. One flavour, no arguing about which is best.

You know the routine. One goes in, the dust goes everywhere, and the next one is already in your hand before the first is gone.

These are the UK ones, and they ship from within Canada, so the corner shop is a fair bit nearer than it was.

Frequently asked questions about Vimto Bon Bons

Q: Do they actually taste of Vimto?

A: They do. That fruity, slightly mysterious purple flavour, in a chewy sweet with a powdery coat. If you liked the drink, you already know.

Q: How big is the bag?

A: It is a 120g bag. Generous enough to offer one round, small enough that you will not feel too bad when the offer quietly lapses.

Q: Are they good to send as a gift?

A: Very. For someone who grew up with Vimto, a bag of these does more talking than a card. Tuck it in with a few other British sweets and you have a proper parcel from home.

Q: How should I keep them once opened?

A: Fold the bag over and keep it somewhere cool and dry. Warmth makes bon bons stick together, and nobody wants to prise them apart.

More about Vimto Bon Bons

Bon bons belong to the old jar-on-the-high-shelf school of British sweets, the kind that used to be weighed out into a paper bag while you hovered at the counter. The Vimto version takes a drink people feel strangely loyal to and turns it into something you can chew.

That flavour is the reason people come looking. Try describing Vimto to someone who has never had it and you will run out of words quickly. Easier to hand them a bag and watch their face.

The bag is 120g, which is enough to share in theory and about right for one person in practice. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from a sunny windowsill, and the sweets stay separate rather than fusing into one large Vimto brick. They go into lunchboxes, glove compartments and coat pockets, and they go missing from all three.

Most people put them in the basket next to other corner-shop favourites from home. A few go the whole way and look for a bottle of Vimto to drink alongside, which is either commitment or a problem, depending who you ask.

The story of Vimto Bon Bons

By Aaron A.  |  October 13, 2026

The sweet shop jar, remembered

You know these before you have read the bag. Vimto Bon Bons belong to the sweet shop counter, the paper bag, the quarter weighed out while you hovered with your pocket money. They are made for World of Sweets under licence from Nichols plc, the company behind the drink itself. Somebody always leaves one in the bottom of the bag, welded to the corner. It is never them.

Read the full story

A Manchester man and a tonic

The story starts in 1908 at 19 Granby Row, Manchester. John Noel Nichols, born in Blackburn, Lancashire, in 1883, was a herb and medicine wholesaler, and that is where he mixed his first batch of a fruit-flavoured cordial. He sold it as a health drink called 'Vim Tonic'. Sensibly, the name got shortened to Vimto. The spot is now marked by an oak sculpture, 'A Monument to Vimto', by Kerry Morrison (1992). A cordial with its own monument. You have to respect that.

A laundry, then the Middle East

By 1927 production had spread into a former laundry building in Old Trafford, Manchester. In 1928 Aujan secured the licence to distribute it in the Middle East, and Vimto gained a major following there. Vimto is now made by Nichols plc, a public company headquartered in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, which reported revenues of £170.7m for the year to 31 December 2023. Not bad for a tonic.

The name gets around

Somewhere along the way the name escaped the bottle. Nichols plc owns the registered Vimto trademark and licenses it out, which is how you get these Bon Bons, and how Swizzels came to make the Vimto Chew Bar. It is the same name you grew up asking for at the corner shop, just in a form you can keep in your coat pocket. Fair warning: the bag will not survive the drive home.
