TaB (and other soda)

[[jonrev]]

I tried TaB soda (Yes they still make it. No it doesn't give you cancer.) and whenever I mention it to someone most of them said it tastes nasty. Does anyone like TaB?

[Andrew]

Never even heard of it.

[Binks Drake]

It causes cancer...

[Andrew]

What does TaB stand for?

[Binks Drake]

Nothing, It's just a name.

[Chitown]

That crap is still around?

Did they finally decide to make it now with Splenda or one of the other artificial sweeteners instead of using Sacharine like the old days?

[punkbunny24242]

That is some nasty stuff!! Geeze where did you find it?? I thought that went away in the late 80's. Or maybe I just found Coke and Pepsi by the time I turned 10... who knows

[ihauntu2]

Didn't you get the memo Punkbunny? All of the '80's stuff is coming back with a vengence. Just look at all of these trendy punks we have running around. Care bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Transformers, Smurfs, and Teddy Ruxpin (mp3 version due out in sept.) - Oh my.

I guess the cool part is that I can relate to the stuff my little one grows up with. Wonder if I can find her a Kid Sister doll anywhere......

[punkbunny24242]

Teddy Ruxpin is back!! I MUST have one! I remember when I 1st got one he scared the crap out of me... the talking and blinking bear.

I must admit that I have quite a few Care Bears things... I'm still a kid at heart.

[ihauntu2]

He will be available in Target stores in September. This time it will be a .mp3 version with pre-recorded books similar to the tapes that the originals came out with.

Personnally I preffered the tape version, since it worked with any tape.
There was just something funny about putting an Eddie Murphy tape in Teddy's back, then watch the curse words fly.

[punkbunny24242]

MP3 version huh? He's the new advanced Teddy Ruxpin. I would hope that his voice would not sound as scary as it did back when I was a mere 'lil tot. I had problems sleeping with him staring at me from my toy shelves

[ihauntu2]

You can't dowload any mp3 either. The files are going to be sold on special cartidges that insert into Teddy.

Of course this info is from an article I read back in June, so some of it may have changed by now.

[punkbunny24242]

At probably $40 a pop...

Advanced Teddy sucks

[CoasterDude12-2]

I once had TaB. Tasted like ear medicine mixed with turnip juice. From now on I stick to good ole' Coca-Cola or Pepsi. No RC, Diet Rite, 50/50, Dr. Pepper, Shasta, Canfield or any other knockoffs.

[punkbunny24242]

No Dr Pepper!!! !!!!

I love Dr Pepper

Andrew: Tab was the first widely sold diet soda. It came out in 1963, but popularity died quickly when Diet Coke came out.

Binks Drake: No it doesn't cause cancer. The saccharin thing was proven to cause cancer in rats, but has no affect in people.

Chitown: No Artificial Sweetners.

punkbunny: I found it at the Piggly Wiggly in Grayslake and Dominicks.

coasterdude: NO SHASTA?! I love Shasta Cola! Took 6 months to find the stuff!

[Binks Drake]

My science teacher a few years ago was obbsessed with TaB. He always had a couple of 24 packs scattered around the room.

[[jonrev]]

LOL. I always keep some soda in my room for my mini pop machine. This thing is cool .

[Andrew]

Orange Crush is good.
