    An apparent shortage of Tab in some parts of the U.S. has sent devotees of the diet soda scrambling to get their fix. "It's almost like a drug deal," said one fan.https://nyti.ms/2CRpyeJ

        I was wondering the same thing. I haven't seen anyone drink at Tab since the 80s.

        I thought Tab died in the early 80’s.

        That is some evil-tasting stuff, but I’ll try it again once a year or so.

        every single person I ever knew who drank it, was a *total junkie* about it. It's very odd.

        Isn’t it? But it doesn’t taste like anything else, and those first few cold sips are awesome. I drank it because I started dieting when I was 9 (I know, really sad), but then I went to Diet Coke & Diet Pepsi.
