Dig Those Red Barf Bags
by Chris Hardwick on March 10, 2010
I do enjoy flying Virgin. And no, they’re not paying me to say that. I don’t know why the red barf bags make me happy but they just do. I guess it’s just that the company thinks through every little detail to deliver a unique experience with their handprint on it. Well done, Branson. (Sir Richard, not Missouri)
Fortunately I do not feel the urge to soil them with my barf.
I’m glad you distinguished between the city, Branson, and the owner of Virgin, Branson. Clarity.
I used to have a kid bring unused barf bags to conventions and get autographs and artist’s drawing done on them…thought it was a neat and unique concept…Barf Bag Art!
i’m enjoying the way the overhead light is all neon pink. so light saber-ish. unintentionally coming out in the photo like that. i assume. ha. rawk! enjoy nyc (and jimmy AND broken bells, of course) – i can’t wait to see you at comix!
I had to chuck my barfbag collection as a part of Operation: Scan & Trash, but Virgin’s bags were 2 of my top 3.

Of course, the on-board wi-fi is a bigger selling point to me, but yeah, pleasantly colored barf bags are a plus. I guess.
Zebrabob: “Barf Bag Art” is the name of my emo band.
Next time please sign the barf bag. I used to do this when I flew for a lark, but then found no one else did it – so I stopped.
Virgin Atlantic did one better several years ago when they included customed designed barf bags from web site gallery that was originally meant to be a joke:
