  There's now a grand total of 11 likes on facebook, Stu - another hundred years and we'll be able to march on Vimto Towers and force them to remake it!

  I used to get this every time we went to Buy Lo, along with a copy of the Beano or Dandy!!! I didn't understand what it was at the time but now I have an obsession with Japan and actually went there on a travel scholarship paid for by my school at the age of 17! This drink seems to have embedded Japan into my concsiousness. Anyway, so now I have made a Facebook page to see if we can't get support to bring this back! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bring-Back-Matotaki/343952815620120

  Ah, now then, I've just been informed by my forty year old son Iain that I used to stock Matotaki in my Post Office and Village Store situated in Winmarleigh, PR30LA. I don't ever remember selling any of it so I guess Iain supped it all!!!

  Awesome stuff back in da pre-90's!!! We had it here in Bristol in some little shop that was owned by this oriental couple. Memories, eh!? I'm 33 now, oh God.

  i only ever had the pleasure of drinking one can of "the oriental dream" and kept the can in the back of a cupboard in my mums kitchen, that was until this year when i fitted a new kitchen for my mum and before i got there to start she had cleaned out all of the cupboards and threw out that precious can and a very fond memory of my childhood away, if any one has more than one can and would like to sell one please contact me rickyhudson@live.com

  I can remember sending off for the special Matotaki chop sticks... can't remember if I paid for them or not, I doubt it. I'm guessing it was a free offer, I think the can tops had some 'oriental print' on the top and you had to send off a load of ring pulls showing this print. I drank lots of Matotaki in the 80s :)

  I have written to Vimto via the "contact Vimto" section on their website. I urge you to do the same, then tell your friends to do it. Print leaflets and leave them on car windscreens in supermarket car parks telling everyone to do it. Together we can unite and retaste the oriental dream. Ahem... I did quite like drinking it.
