Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I feel like everyone has someone they know or have known somewhere along the way in life that was an absolute Tab addict. Am I right? My 4th grade language arts teacher used to drink it like it was going out of style. Coca-Cola is discontinuing Tab after nearly 60 years RIP, Tab. After nearly 60 years, Coca-Cola is discontinuing its first-ever diet soda, Tab, which acquired a huge fan base in the '70s and '80s and maintained a small but devoted following through the years. "Tab had an amazing run," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition and a longtime Tab enthusiast. Bixby said messages of condolences have been pouring in. "As a business decision I can understand it, but it's a very sad day ... I do feel it's like losing a friend." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguru Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I didn't think you were allowed to drink Tab if you were under 30 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always kind of tasted kind of metallic to me...like I was drinking pennies or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like it either and I know exactly what you mean although I don't believe I have ever drank pennies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlDog75 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Tab uses saccharin as it's sweetener, which is nasty tasting to begin with in my opinion. (of course originally it used a combination of saccharin and cyclamate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwoodfan Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hated it, but had a friend who drank it all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjs4470 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I can remember occasionally drinking Tab in the late 80's. I have any recollection as to what it tasted like. Honestly, I haven't seen it in years, and wasn't even aware it was still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnottieDrippen Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I used to drink my step-dad's Tab because it would frustrate him. This was early 2000s. I honestly didn't know they still made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 It tasted too sweet for me. Sweeter than any other diet drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
