I have no idea what Tab tastes like, so if I can find some, it will be a new experience. Maybe there needs to be an obscure soda discussion thread.

Scrobins | 1,725 Moderator · Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Tab tasted like Coke but somehow you tasted more neutral flavor that cola. Then again I was raised on a Tab knockoff called Rally. I can’t complain too much about generic sodas though, I recently tried Safeway’s Dr. Dynamite and like it. My best friend and I love to joke about Stop & Shop’s more ambiguous Zazz. They used to have abandoned carts in the aisles for marked down products rather than dedicate a shelf to it, and in the summer we would find full carts of individual cans of Zazz.

Yes, they still sold it up until now...I used to drink quite a bit of if when I lived on the southwest-side of Chicago near Midway Airport. They would sell it in specific demographic enclaves were the older generation of diet pop drinkers still had a taste for it. I started drinking it in the mid-2000s because I was amazed myself it was still being sold in Chicago in 2005. But, alas, Tab is no more as of last week!

RH | 4,898 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) In 2004-05, I worked for a small company ran from the owners spare house in his backyard. His late-50s wife would only drink Tab when she wanted a soda. She was the only person I knew who still drank it. Supposedly, there has always been a small, avid base. As such, any decent sized town, or bigger, usually had at least one local grocery store offering it just for the small group of super fans. I think she let me have a can, but I really don't recall what it tasted like. It's basically like a generic diet coke, right?

It's basically like a generic diet coke, right? It definitely has its own distinct taste, thanks to the saccharin (which they still used in the formula until its end last week). I can definitely tell the difference between a Tab, a Diet Coke, and a Diet Pepsi. I guess I could liken it somewhat to Diet Rite, but even then its not a close match. Speaking of obscure diet pops, @Bearcat-Doug, last time I was at a Cincinnati Cyclone hockey match, US Bank Arena was only selling that for diet. Must have gotten a cheap deal to go with RC Cola and Diet Rite for cost savings. Gotta love minor league sports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
