Ramadan, the beloved Islamic holy month for all Muslims around the world, is almost here.
With only five weeks away from the month-long fast, the centerpiece of every iftar table is back on grocery store shelves: the one and only Vimto.
Yep, Vimto is back, not just in markets - but on social media, too. Posts inspired by the refreshing drink are taking over our feeds, and there is one in particular that took Twitter by storm recently.
Earlier this week, Emirati tweep @Hamdanium posted a hilarious Vimto tutorial that sent people into a complete meltdown. Because who else would've thought about stirring the fruit-flavored drink with water while using a huge wooden spoon? Absolutely no one.
Vimto with a hint of garlic?
"The same way we do it at home but we only add a tiny clove of garlic."
The Emirati tweep spotted the video on Twitter and couldn't help himself from making a joke as tiny as a clove of garlic's size, but as strong and long-lasting as its taste and smell.
What happened next? Almost 500k views and comments comprised of high-end sarcasm.
The sarcasm level peaked in the comments
"We've been drinking it without water for 24 years. God bless him for teaching us."
"We heat it up on a stove, turns out there's an easier way to make it"
"Honestly, this is such a complex recipe, it requires equipment and technique"
"Girls, I need an easier recipe"
Everyone noticed the wooden spoon
"The Wooden Spoon" became its own meme
Arabs during Ramadan
"Mashallah, how did this work?"
"Do you have a more detailed video? I didn't really get this one"
We're all excited for Ramadan now
"A: I'm excited about Ramadan just so I can try this new recipe.
B: You could also try it during Sha'ban and Rajab.
A: No, I don't think it would be as delicious as it is during Ramadan."
