Re: Coca Cola Getting Rid of Tab

I drank Tab too. I remember my dad, who did all of the grocery shopping and cooking, bought it for me. I drank it right through college and after I graduated. When Diet Coke came out, I switch to it. I can't stop drinking diet coke. I cut back a lot but I have to have it in the AM, no coffee. 

I always think if I were going to die from drinking diet Tab/diet coke, it would have already happened. My mother died at 93 and still loved her diet coke. I guess I am headed that same way.

Re: Coca Cola Getting Rid of Tab

I haven’t seen Tab in years...I guess I figured it was already discontinued.

Re: Coca Cola Getting Rid of Tab

A staple n the 70's, went on to Diet Coke for years. Then, 12 years ago quit altogether. Interestingly enough, when I quit soda, I immediately dropped 18 pounds. Never had soda since!

I remember when Tab came on the market -- I drank it for years, including my many purchases from the vending machine in the lobby of my dorm at college. In fact, that stuff got me through college!

I don't know at what point I switched over to Diet Coke, to which I'm addicted, but I haven't had a Tab in years. However, on the rare occasions when I spot one of those pink cans, I have fond memories of it and my college days. It was a staple when I studied for exams.

That is the only time I drank soda. My Mom rarely allowed soda in the house. So when I went away to college - watch out.

 

The college bought Dutch Schultz house and the college used it as a dorm. There were only 10 rooms but thankfully Coke put in a soda machine off the lobby.

Re: Coca Cola Getting Rid of Tab

I love all these stories.  We must all be about the same age.  Tab has not been available in my town for many years, but I sometimes would buy it again when I traveled for the sake of nostalgia.  I now drink Diet Coke all day long everyday.

Re: Coca Cola Getting Rid of Tab

@jeanlake, what a sweet story! Someone had his eye on you; a very clever way to introduce himself. He's a keeper.

One of my friends from high school met her future husband in college when he started bringing her the iced tea she drank every day.
