Tab was always chalky tasting. Diet Pepsi is ever so much better.

I always wondered how "Moxie" tasted. That was one of the first soft drinks.

Does anyone else remember "fizzies"?

I remember "Fizzies", sure do! The root beer flavor was (IMHO) the BEST. :)

Now here's one for you: do you remember an instant milk shake mix called "Great Shakes"? A little triangular shaped envelope with malted milk and chocolate flavoring, it came with it's own shaker, you add a cup of milk, pop the lid on, shake-shake-shake, and presto-change-o, you had a really good (to me) milk shake! :)

MMMMMMMMMM!

"Plenty bad enough to be called TaB."

LOL

Insisting on printing it TaB is irritating at the least. It's Tab, according to the maker.

At least TaB didn't claim to be (diet) Coke. You knew you weren't getting anything close to the Real Thing. Diet Coke isn't much closer, but they lost the truth in advertising.

My sister is hooked on Tab... How it survived this long is unbelievable. It is simply the worst cola ever! But, then again any cola without sugar is undrinkable.

Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.

As bad as Tab is, Fresca was worse. My granddad used to buy Fresca by the case. He knew it was safe around me.

I remember fizzies, I loved the root beer flavor! Necco wafers, banana flavored chewy wrapped candy (forerunner of Starbursts), chuckles, Slo-Pokes, Kits, Bit O Honey, Pixie Stix, Black Jack gum or teaberry gum, Root Beer Barrels, bubble gum cigars or candy cigarettes, Bit o Honey, wax teeth, the little wax bottles with liquid inside, Good N Plenty, Sweetarts, jawbreakers and many more!

I wonder if they sell any of this stuff in stores nowaday. My sister was hooked on the big Sweetart.

And don't forget "ATOMIC FIREBALLS", one of *the* hottest candies around, my mouth tingles even now at the thought...

Lou: You gonna order something, kid?
Marty McFly: Ah, yeah... Give me a Tab.
Lou: Tab? I can't give you a tab unless you order something.
Marty McFly: Alright, give me a Pepsi Free.
Lou: You want a Pepsi, pal, you're gonna pay for it
