They've gone more for the "energy drink" crowd. It tastes much sweeter... like someone dropped a jolly rancher in it.
it DID say "tab energy" but i left that part out because i am not a "tab expert" so i figured that was just the way it was normally i'll give it a whirl but don't expect some raving review. Heh heh.

There's Tab energy and there's regular Tab, which is still the same old cola we all know and love (or don't know - I've still never tasted it).

And the consensus among Tab drinkers on here seemed to be that Tab Energy tasted like ass so I've yet to try that one.

Don't get on the TAB hate!
#1- the ENERGY drink has NOTHING to do with regular TAB (Basically, if you like Sweet & Low[saccharin], you'll like TAB). Regular TAB should be right beside Coca-Cola. My "Coke district" only has it in 12 packs now(they discontinued 2-liters, about 4 years ago. BUT, each district is different.....when they stopped here, I checked in Nashvegas....they were only doing 6 packs there. That's then - I dunno now). And the 12 packs are waaay more expensive than 2-liters(except when they're on sale), so, when they're on sale, Krogers sells out, daily! All the TAB drinkers are waiting for the sales(always holiday weeks), and cleaning them out!
"Excuse me.....could I get a raincheck, for the TAB, that you're sold out of?".
I usually have a "stock" of about 15-20 12 packs! It's my coffee!



God, I love coming here to talk about STUPID ****. And it's sure taking my mind off other things.

Basically, a citrus drink, although it's(and I never realized this until a couple years ago) supposed to be grapefruit based drink. It does have kind of a "sour" bite to it. But, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so I love sour.

it has a refreshingly crisp citrus taste! it's delicious. the best citrus-based soda out there.

I always had ginger ale when I was sick and while I don't drink it any other time- when I'm sick it's what I seem to crave. And pizza? We only eat at little independently owned pizza places. Dominoes, Pizza Hut, etc. are just gross to me. I'm originally from New York though, so maybe that explains my pizza snobbiness.

7up, no doubt

I used to like Sprite, but no they have Spreite Zero, what is fine (low calories, no sugar, etc), but don't know why they changed the regular Sprite formula and now it's too sweet, excesively sweet. Too much sugar, PUAJ!!!!!

7UP is sitll good!
