    Tab Cola sealed cans,signs,etc.Check out 'Solds' on Ebay-got some in Grandma's attic ?
    PS-This is recent MIB (Can) 'Expired 2021' stock, not Spaceage 60's inventory ! Some folks must really miss it ?

    My sister loved Tab. She used to pack tons of it when she went on a trip because she was never sure if she could find it. Finally she couldn't find it any more and switched to Diet Coke, but it never was the same!

    If a taste (or smell) imprints, especially when we're young,it can be a lifelong touchstone for us.

    I must've tasted it back in the day-did it taste like a cheap discount-brand Coke ?
    I told you-Quit lickin' gravestones !

    No , it tasted like some vile concoction from planet Delta Vega 9 , where the inhabitants have no taste buds !!!

    She also bought Fresca ..... which was just as bad... in a worse way ! :yuck::vomit::vomit::eek:

    I used to drink cocoa cola and also chocolate soda once in awhile. So good.
    But I started drinking ginger ale probably 30 years ago and now I only drink water.

    I tried it once or twice, but never went back for more. Chocolate soda was pretty good, but then I liked Moxie. Moxie will only be familiar to those from the northeastern part of the USA. Diet Moxie however, vile doesn't even begin to describe it.

    Like V8 when it tries to get into my face. :hungover::hungover::hungover::hungover::yuck::yuck::yuck::yuck: My mother used to use it in recipes sometimes, I think mostly meatloaf. It wasn't until I made the meatloaf and left the V8 in the supermarket that meatloaf tasted like food.

    Tab and Fresca -- blast from the past for me. Didn't like Tab, but drank Fresca. But my real fave as a kid were Coke floats.

    Never liked Tab, but I always liked the commercial with the bikini-clad woman strolling on the beach.
