Two months late with this news. Was wondering why I could no longer find it on store shelves. It was hard to find, but I did have my sources.

The soda was bitter, sharp, and dry. An unforgettable taste.

I feel like I’m saying goodbye to an old friend.

Coke Zero has a somewhat similar taste to Tab.

This is a non-problem, but I do miss some other branded consumer products that have been discontinued.

My brother was quite distraught when Capt. Kangaroo went Dark.

I haven’t seen it in stores so I though that it had already been discontinued!

I haven’t thought about TAB Soda since the first Nixon Administration. I think that soda even predates the scare on
Cyclamates.

Tab is going away? I thought it had been discontinued decades ago. Can’t remember the last time I saw one.

I had a girlfriend in the late Seventies who was totally addicted to Tab. It was actually a little scary. She would have withdrawals and headaches if she didn’t drink it regularly. One of my boyfriend assignments was to make sure she always had an extra case for backup so she didn’t get anxiety.

My mom used to drink it in the 70s.

Absolutely the worst soft drink I ever had. Never understood how it made it to the market.

I grew up in a diabetic family and have been drinking diet soda most of my life. Never could drink Tab though - saccharine leaves a nasty metallic aftertaste with me. I’m fine with Nutrasweet and Splenda, can’t use saccharine or stevia (which also leaves a metallic aftertaste for me).

Terrible taste in the original saccharin version.

But my aunt couldn’t drink enough of it.

I drank a TAB once in 1970. Never again.

"I can't give you a Tab unless you order something."
