Check it out, I found TaB in one of the local supermarkets! I have vague memories of my mom drinking it in the mid-to-late 1960's, but mostly what I remember about it is that it tasted like shit. So, naturally, I bought a sixpack.
My tastes must have changed since I was ten years old, because TaB doesn't taste so bad to me anymore. That's not to say it actually tastes good, but it's better than Diet Coke. TaB has a better cola flavor - one that breaks through the aftertaste, unlike Diet Coke's diluted extract of ass flavoring.

Nice! I'm having a TaB at the moment as well. My husband and I like it a lot better than any other diet cola we've tried; they all taste diluted and almost like baking soda or something similar. Also, TaB seems to keep it's fizz for a bit longer than other sodas, much like ginger ale. Yummy!
I drank way too much tab in the late 70's. I was just talking about it the other day. Haven't noticed any about in awhile. My tab addiction ended with coffee and Dr. Pepper. (not together) oh yeah, and IPA's lol
I wonder if it's made with HFCS or sugar? Just preaching, just curious.
MrsBug - TaB is a diet soda, sweetened with old-school saccharine.
Coincidentally, I bought a 6 pack of TaB last week as well. (FYI TaB fans, Crazy Bruce's in West Hartford ALWAYS has TaB 6 packs.)
I don't have memories of Aspartame or Saccharin, so this was sort of a new fake sweet flavor to me... And I must say, I rather hated it.
Sucralose or bust.
