Does anyone remember Vim cleaner? Is it made anymore?

Vim (a.k.a. Jif) is now Cif in the UK and most of Europe. It's still Vim across the pond.

I remember Vim as being scratchy bleachy powder in a cardboard tube.

Jif/Cif as far as I can remember has always been a cream.

[edit]

Vim circa 1970's

Exactly. Jif/cif isn't the same thing.

Vim was a powder, Jif/Cif is a liquid.

Ooh, edit! I never came across the bottle of liquid Vim shown in a post above. Modern new-fangled rubbish

Used to love these. Not so keen on chocolate so these were perfect if you loved fudge
