What is "TAB" soda made by coca colla company?
its like 2.69 for a six pack at the store...wtf is it so expensive for?

 

[royaldank]

TAB was a one of the first diet drinks available. No (or 1) calories. Invented in the early to mid 80's.

It's referenced in Back to the Future.

2. You crazy?!?! $2.69 is not expensive for such antiques

TAB is a diet drink popularized in the 80s. It is rare, and only made at certain times of the year in smaller quantities, hence the price.

Classic supply & demand.

B/c so few people drink it anymore, but it has a bizarre and religious niche following. Coca Cola continues to sell it to this relatively small market, but they hardly drive a profit from it, so it's rather expensive.

It was NASTY! Who was that model in the tv ads? Lauren Hutton or something?

Tab has actually been around since the 1960's.

Fresca still around?

 

[pulse8]

OMG!

That makes me feel old.

 

[MustPost]

I saw my friend drinking a grapefruit fresca made by coke today.

 

[punkrawket]

ya... fresca is still around

 

[falias]

Austin Powers drank a lot of Tab. I would stay away from it though. Fresca is alright.

Tab's been around since the 70s I think. I remember that my sister loved this stuff. I could choke it down if it was warm Nice medicine taste though. They still using saccharine in it?

 

[perry]

Diet Soda minus the sodium.. NASTY.

 

[AMDJunkie]

Saccharine sweetened diet soda. Comes in a pink can. Choice drink of anyone in dance arts (my aunt knocks back these things like they were Buds). Better than Nutra-Sweet shiat.

 

[sitka]

Man....I realy want a Fresca. better check HOT DEALS for a delivery.
Think the last one I had was in PutInBay Ohio. Like 5 years ago.

 

[ChrichtonsGirl]

Tab is soooo good. It's got a nice, harsh taste. I can't find it locally, but whenever I'm in Madison at the grocery store, I pick up a couple of 12-packs.

 

[eplebnista]

I like TAB and actually prefer the saccharine taste to aspartame. Anyone remember SKI? It's still around, and also hard to find.

My $.02,

before diet coke, there was tab. They stopped advertising the stuff after that.

Good, I'm glad somebody cleared this date thing up. This was one of the fountain drinks that we could choose from in High School (and I graduated in the Mid '80s!) I remember seeing it *way* before then.

I like Tab because it had saccharine (sp?) in it. Better than NutraSweet, and I think it has a good taste, not harsh like people here says is does. Well, to each their own!
