Soft Drinks

Haven't flown VS for a while.

Could anyone please tell me if they still only offer Virgin Cola [:$], rather than something actually drinkable?

I'm hoping that perhaps I don't have to bring my own for my next flight.

The following soft drinks are available:

Virgin Cola
Diet Virgin Cola
Virgin Lemonade
Virgin Ginger Ale
Virgin Bitter Lemon
Virgin Tonic
Virgin Diet Tonic

Only once in a blue moon when the stock of Virgin Colas is running low do we get proper Coke loaded in its place - but that's not very often.

Shame they don't have those ginger drinks they have in the CH.

WOW I never knew that all the mixers were Virgin branded. Not that I ever have them so why should I have known, however for some reason reading your reply I was a little shocked.

Are these mixers served/sold anywhere else ?

Thanks for the info Tinkerbelle. Looks like I will still have to bring my own Coke. [:(!]

So, when does anyone think VS will start offering just:

Virgin Red Wine
Virgin White Wine
Virgin Beer
Virgin Lager
and a range of Virgin brand spirits

instead of the current selection? [}:)]

Can't remember the last time I saw them for sale anywhere. Which doesn't surprise me, because they are revolting. [:$] On a par with the cheapest supermarket own brand. Or Sodastream.

There are those who disagree, as this poll shows. [;)]

Well we used to serve Virgin Vodka onboard [ii]

I didnt realise they served drinks other champagne (and port with the cheese plate) on board?!? hmmm.... learn something new every day!

I actually like Virgin Cola.
In a world where everything is Pepsi this and Coca Cola that, its nice to have a change - I find it leaves a less sticky taste in my mouth.
I actually found a few places near me that still sell Virgin Cola.
Virgin Trains also sell Virgin Cola.

Kev.

I think this is probably an exact quote from what I wrote in the thread Nick linked to, but though I'm not a fan of any 'colas' I actually think Virgin Lemonade is much better than Sprite so I like having that as an option.

Hahaha.... Virgin Cola! Is it actually still around as a proper soda in the UK or is it just Virgin's private brand for in-flight drinks?

Please delete this incase someone from Virgin reads it and gets any ideas....[xx(]

Too late....
