(“Tab spinoff digs up memories of nasty original,” The Journal Gazette, February 11, 2006 – by Sherry Slater)
When I read recently that the Coca-Cola Co. is launching an updated version of Tab, memories started fizzing and bubbling in my brain.
My mom bought that disgusting diet cola for about five years when I was a kid. We gulped it down because, even though we hated the taste of it, it was still pop. And it was supposed to be helping us lose weight.

When it comes to vices, ya do what ya gotta do. Even if the vice in question isn’t anything near as illicit as say, crystal meth, but instead is sold over the counter in a pink pop can that recalls the era of Mary Quant, paisley shirts and winkle pickers.
Except it isn’t sold over the counter. Not in Toronto. Not in Ontario. Not in Canada, writ large.
We are proud to announce the new ILoveTaB.com!
We have added a lot more information about TaB. More importantly, the site is now completely interactive. We want other TaB-addicts to contribute their pictures, articles, and comments directly to the site.
Since the site is new, we expect that there might be a few bugs and mistakes — please let us know if you have trouble finding something, if something doesn’t work, or you have general comments about the site.
I have a Sidekick II, and it has been looking a little rough lately. I read in a magazine that you could order a custom “skin” to cover the Sidekick, so I thought it would be fun to get a TaB themed skin — a great way to increase exposure for my favorite drink!
You can get a skin at TMobileSkins.com.
