A little of my 1980s childhood died just a little bit more when I read this. I remember my aunt used to drink this until Coke came out with Diet Coke!
Coca-Cola just announced they’re killing off TAB, which was their first-ever diet soda. It debuted almost 60 years ago but really hit it’s high popularity in the ’70s and ’80s.
It’s fallen off the radar a little bit since then, and lots of other diet sodas have become way more popular but it’s always been around. Now Coca-Cola is getting rid of it along with some of its other, quote, “underperforming” products.
Coca-Cola is getting rid of Tab by the end of the year, so if you’re still a fan or yearn for a bit of nostalgia, it’s time to hoard it if you see it. I’m thinking Coke will re-introduce it in the form of “Retro” TAB that comes out periodically. Kinda like throwback Mountain Dew or Pepsi…something like that.
Do you still drink TAB?
