That's like asking about Barr Cola, it's way too limited to be considered and Virgin Cola tasted like Dandelion and Burdock last time I had it... in 1999.

There's a kiwi one called Phoenix which you can get at more upmarket supermarkets here which is delicious, it tastes just like those cola-bottle lollies if you have those in the UK.

There is nothing wrong with 'Dandelion & Burdock', I love it!
However, as a drink before an evening out on the town, I quickly noticed that it doesn't mix well on the palate with Vodka!

EDIT: Tesco Diet Cola (bog standard, not 'premium'), or Diet Co-op Cola are better for mixing!

Tsk Quizzlestick, dandelion and burdock ≠ cola.

The newsagent by me sells small bottles for 65p, and no they're not out of date. In West Bromwich they're 50p, sadly that's 100 miles away from me. Go into Central London and it's about two quid...

But it was you who raised the 'D&B' subject. I did go on to make a comment on cola taste.

I said that Virgin Cola the last time I tasted it had a similar flavour to that long drink, it's not something you expect as you expect it to taste like sugar based cola, not hippie fruit punch cola.

I assume that was quite a while ago?
