Is this the Virgin Group of both the airlines and the superstore? (As well as the cola and Richard Branson?) mc

Yep, that's the one. Wow, I just looked it up to make sure and that's the first I've heard of Virgin Cola.

Well, I actually had a Virgin cola on my Virgin airlines flight to London.

Rebranded m100

Someone over on PalmStation reported seeing an ad for this and it is simply a m100 with the Virgin logo on it. This is kind of what I expected but I was hoping for more.
