Weasel Words

[edit]

While I love this root beer, this article is misleading. It frequently uses phrases such as "all natural", which are weasel words. The coverage on this article is one-sided, with a bias towards Virgil's.73.109.92.67 (talk) 03:24, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Changed Recipe

[edit]

This article needs to address that Virgil's completely changed the recipe, flavor, quality and production of their root beer. They changed from micro-brewed root beer to "handcrafted" macrobrewed soda, and never said anything. I don't even know exactly when it changed (2019? 2020?). They discontinued the micro-brewed according to their product page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.200.42.44 (talk) 01:03, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
