Did you drink Virgin Cola?

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

I saw Richard Branson talking about how it failed and it unlocked a memory!

I don't recall drinking it tbh, but i do remember the branding

Do you remember it disappearing?

I thought it was ok!

Yes, I drank it, I remember the bottles because they were apparently modelled on Pamela Anderson’s body.

It faded into obscurity so I think the only ones who would remember when they disappeared would be people who work in the bevvy industry.

I do. I used to buy it sometimes. I remember it because it randomly appeared on a TV show I was re watching not so long ago.

I only ever drank it.on Virgin Trains because it was all they had available in the cola line. It was pretty insipid as I recall - rather like draught Coke/Pepsi when the syrup/soda balance is out of whack.

Oh god I’d forgotten all about Virgin cola - it was vile as I recall???

It was sold in loads of places in Hammersmith (home of Virgin HQ) and I lived there in the 1990s so drank it by default. Colas as taste the same to me though

I remember it used to come in little bottles smaller than a standard coke can. It was alright from what I can remember.. Just that typical non coke/Pepsi cheap cola flavour

Think I had it once on a train, it tasted very cheap. Not surprised it failed.

Drank it occasionally in the 90s. It tasted like Rola Cola (cheap and flat).

I've still got an unopened bottle 😂 long story.

I tried it back in the day but it didn't make much of an impression on me. It was OK.

Blockbuster cola, however, was fantastic.

I didn't like it, it was weak and flat. Unusual for a Virgin product to fail, is it the only one?

It was very thin and watery with high levels of aspartame as I recall

I remember being on a Virgin train from Glasgow to London in the late 90s when the air con failed and the train was absolutely cooking. They offered us a free soft drink and it was Virgin coke that we were given. It tasted pretty hideous but I assumed that was just due to the can being hotter than the sun.

Only once and I did not finish it.

One of the vilest tasting things I have ever drunk.

On my fridge right now.

Virgin Vie failed too

I bought a can out of a vending machine in Leeds once and won two weekend tickets to the V Festival, which was ace.

I tried it back in the day and it was vile. Tap water had more taste.
