14. Fresca is on the shelves again
and tastes much better than the first time around. I remember it was hideous when it first came out in the late 60s.

2. Ugh...TAB turned me off to diet sodas for YEARS!
:puke:

I can drink them now, though. They aren't as nasty.

20. I agree David! TAB was the bad! The only soda
that is worse than Tab is Dr Pepper!

3. Do you remember the LSD that came in Tabs. Tab Acid it was called
Edited on Wed Sep-03-03 02:58 PM by soupkitchen
I used to take them all the time. And down them with TAB, the soda. It's a wonder I'm still around.

4. did it taste better with cyclamates?
They took cyclamates off the market when I was quite young. Saccharin was not a good substitute.

9. I don't know about cyclamates, but I loved that little saccharine kick
it used to have. I wrote to complain when they switched to NutraSweet - that just made it taste like Diet Coke.

6. For a long time I was convinced my mom single handedly
kept TAB on supermarket shelfs. We called her a Tabaholic.

She's finally down to 2 or 3 a day. Used to be 10-15.

13. Tabb High School in Tabb, Va. (on the peninsula)
Chris Slade and Terry Kirby (national HS player of the year) went there. Our archrivals. We were the first class in 4 years to beat them, sadly we played them twice a year and on the same field (we just switched sides according to who was the "home" team) the field was just on our school grounds. They had to take a bus to home games.

A couple of years after I graduated my alma mater was totally outsized and slower and had just lost to them the week before, and they beat them in the state tournament. TK's last game.

15. TAB makes me think of my aunt
my mom's youngest sister. She drank TAB all the time. She passed away from cancer in 99. I still miss her very much.

18. TAB=Totally Artificial Beverage
Edited on Wed Sep-03-03 05:53 PM by liberal_veteran
Yes, I know that's an urban legend, but it's still funny and not far from true.

19. It had the most disgusting taste...!

Sorry to sound negative, but that's my opinion. Tab tasted horrible to me!

And yes, they still make it. I see Tab in the grocery stores to this very day--and avoid it. :-)

23. I saw it a few months ago...
...and was surprised that it is still in production. Can't recall at the moment where I saw it. Maybe it will come back to me.

26. See it still
On the shelves all the time in Vermont. As a diabetic before diet coke came out, it's the only soda I could drink. I pretty much stuck with water.
