In Sweden, the United Kingdom, and South Africa the products were sold under the name Vim before this was changed to Jif, the launch name in Ireland, the Netherlands and Hong Kong. In 2001 the name in most of these countries was changed to Cif in order to harmonise marketing and product inventories across the continent.

it used to be called Vim!!!!
