T’was the Night Before TaBmas – by NightowlT’was the Night Before TaBmas
Twas the night before Christmas and all through my flat
Not a creature was awake… but my overweight cat.
The tree was trimmed. The gifts were all wrapped.
And Amazon.com had my credit cards maxed.
The stockings were hung and I was in bed.
Dreams of 2-liter TaBs in my head.
When all of the sudden, who would appear?
But jolly St. Nick, red suit and white beard.
He crept through the darkness and paused by the tree
Saw the TaB I’d left him and was duly intrigued.
“Oh good!” he cried, then turned beet-red.
“Oops, sorry!” he whispered. “Forgot Nightowl’s in bed.”
Then he took a big drink and whispered, “Not bad!”
He ignored the cookies. They weren’t as good as the TaB.
Then he filled my fridge with cans of pinstriped pink.
And 2-liter bottles of the world’s finest drink.
And he cried as he left, “Hope everyone’s happy!”
Ain’t it good to know that Santa’s a TaBbie?
Peace on earth, goodwill to humanity and cheap, abundant TaB for all!
Thanks Nightowl!
Happy Halloween, TaB style! – by NightowlConsider this: TaB backwards is “Bat,” making it the perfect beverage for Halloween!!
Some short, scary fiction for you now. You wake in the middle of the night. Something has made an odd noise in your hallway. You whisper in the darkness, “Who’s there?” The only answer is a chilly autumn breeze sighing through the trees just beyond your window. And then, you hear it again. It sounds like a something heavy being dragged.
It’s coming up the stairs.
Keeping your eyes on the dank grey light of the partially-opened door, you reach for your Louisville Slugger and get up slowly. Your heart now racing, you pound the barrel of the bat on the hardwood floors. “Get out of my house!” you scream.
It stops. And starts to withdrawl back down the stairs. So you creep quietly out the door, into the ghostly moonlight of the hall and to the black void where the stairs begin. The lightswitch, to your horror, doesn’t work, but you hear whatever it is, stepping off the stairs and towards your kitchen. And you follow, down the stairs. Your heart now pounding in your chest, you step off the stairs, blindly fumbling your way through the dark living room and place the bat’s head against the kitchen door. It’s in there. You know you must confront it. So you push the door open slowly with the bat. And there.. AND THERE.. AND THERE IT IS!! (chilling organ flourish here). Looking like a cross between a gorilla, a grizzly and an ET, it stands eight feet, covered with black full and red eyes, bathed in the yellow light of the fridge, which it has opened on its own. There, in its paw is- horror of horrors- YOUR LAST TaB!!
You let out a scream. But the creature lets out a big belch… and smiles at you.
Just be thankful you didn’t have Diet Coke in that ice box.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Nighty-Nightowl
Thanks Nightowl!

“Dwindling supply has TaB fanatics searching everywhere for their cola” – by Courtney McCann(“Dwindling supply has TaB fanatics searching everywhere for their cola,” Press of Atlantic City, May 7, 2006 — by Courtney McCann)
Lolly Yocum will travel to the ends of the earth in search of an endangered species: her beloved TaB soda.
The Lansdale, Pa., doll maker has a summer house in Little Egg Harbor Township, but she spends more time traveling the Garden State Parkway trolling for soft drinks than enjoying the summer sun.
“During the summer months, I go on TaB-buying journeys that take me from Manahawkin to Atlantic City looking for my beloved drink,� Yocum said. “No other drink can compare.�

First, take a a peek at our ILoveTaB.com Chat Group.
If you cannot find TaB at your local grocery store, your first step should be to ask your store for the contact information for your local Coca-Cola bottler/distributor. You can also use the Local Bottler Finder. Your bottler/distributor can tell if you they bottle TaB, and where you can find TaB in your area.
If TaB is made/distributed by your bottler/distributer, than any market that sells Coke products should be able to order some TaB for you. Usually smaller stores are more receptive. If your market is resistant, it may help to “pre-buy” a certain number of cases per month, so they don’t have to worry about the TaB not selling.
If TaB is not available in your area (check our list of TaB-less areas in the US), I strongly suggest writing letters to your local bottler/distributer and The Coca-Cola Company expressing your disatisfaction. Make sure to contact us – we can often get members of our newsletter to start a letter writing campaign! You can also:

Lately I have seen Go Girl, another energy drink in a pink can. I gave it a try, and in my opinion, it is much better tasting that TaB Energy. There is virtually none of that medicinal/energy drink after taste — it tastes like a less sweet Strawberry Crush.
Has anyone else tried it? If so, leave a comment!
Coke addresses the issue of TaB vs TaB Energy…I found the following Q&A on the official TaB Energy website. Personally, I think there is a lot of confusion about the two brands but maybe that’s just me….
–
Q: What is Tab Energy?
A: While Tab Energy shares the Tab brand name, it is not a cola. It is a completely new energy drink created especially for women. The deliciously crisp and lightly carbonated pink beverage is sugar-free, with only five calories per 10.5 ounce can.
Q: Will it replace regular Tab?
A: No, the launch of Tab Energy, a completely new energy drink, will have no impact on the availability of Tab the diet cola.
Reviews of TaB Energy…Post your reviews here…
Google provides TaB to its employees…An unidentified source at Google has identified TaB in the free drink coolers…
ILoveTaB.com was mentioned in the King County Journal, a Seattle WA area paper, in the August 11, 2005 issue.
Thanks Anne
