My aunt loved drinking Tab, with all of its sodium saccharine, back in the 70s and 80s.

I tasted it and was completely disgusted. It was one of the worst drinks I ever recall tasting.

Diet drinks in the US haven’t tasted good since they took out cyclamates. At least you can still get soft drinks with cyclamates in Europe.

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.

Will Tab be buried next to Mr. Pibb?

Odwalla juices have a ton of sugars in them.

With so many going “lower carb,” there is less money chasing sugar (natural or not).

I thought they stopped making that junk decades ago. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that pink can.

My mom liked it, I grew to like it. It’s an acquired taste I think, like scotch :)

My great-aunt used to drink Wink, a grapefruit soda.
It had an interesting flavor.

Of course I gave up drinking pop entirely around seven or eight years ago now.
