Vim (the editor) isn't the only Vim around.  It's no surprise that
other products have latched onto the same catchy name.  We're always
looking for more evidence of Other Vims.  
</p>

<p>
The oldest appearance of Vim (so far) is the detergent powder made by Unilever.
According to
<a href="http://www.markenmuseum.com/gallerien/v/pages/vim.html">this article</a> it appeared in 1911.

The pictures below are thumbnails, but they link to full-size images,
which are sometimes quite sizeable.

      "Vim" fashion outlet on Broadway in NYC.  Everyone knows Vim is

      Judging by this old advertisement, Vim (the detergent) has
      probably been around a bit longer than Vim (the editor).
