I had no idea TAB soda still exists - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dean Winchester · 03-22-2005, 02:11 PM

since I was born in 1979, all of my early childhood memories were in the 1980's, and I remember a time when Tab was as popular a soft drink as Coke and Pepsi, but by the end of the 80's, Tab seemed all but a memory.

Yesterday when I was at a grocery store, I noticed that Coke has resurrected Tab and even has frigepacks, so I bought it, and it tastes as good as I remembered it.

Hopefully this means Tab soda is back, I used to love to drink it back when I was young. I figured I would never see it again.

TAB was and I guess still is (I haven't seen it in years either) WAY better than Diet Coke or Pepsi.

Fresca was another great low-cal soda!!

I noticed that it has made a comeback too although I never remember trying it.

Like diet cola but without the gross aftertaste (not as bad anyway). I forget what the sweetner it is that they use in it.

Fresca is like a crisp blend of Sprite and Wink. Good stuff!

I've never even heard of it, and havn't seen it in stores. Zebra gum, though. Hmm, can only get that **** at the gas station now. That stuff was soooo cule. But that was the 90's, not the 80's

90's sucked.

Oh REALLY??!!! Cool!! That stuff was great! TV Land should show the retro ads!

We have a store in Toronto that sells nothing but retro candy! I don't know how they get the stuff - unless its like 35 years old!!!

Blackcat gum, Lola's (before they came back), jaw breakers, wax lips and even candy or chocolate cigarettes!!

I think even the adds were before my time, because I don't remember them...just the gum

I could be wrong, but I believe Tab was the first diet soft drink. I don't recall seeing it lately in my grocery store, but I could be wrong on that. Could be it's not available everywhere.

I always thought Tab had too much of an aftertaste, but then again, I hate all diet sodas for that reason.
