New Soda Alert!

The Tab Energy drink tastes like grapefruit combined with bananas to me.

Coke Blak isn't available here yet. I checked Quik Trip, Racetrac, Kroger, and 7-11. I really want to try it.

I know Sprite Ice was available in Canada for a while, and I was upset that I never got to try it.

I'm not a fan of ginger, so I don't really know they terminology.. there was definitely a good gingery bite, though, not like what you'd get out of a Canada Dry.

Jolly Rancher makes Green Apple and also a Watermelon soda now, both are delicious.

Tab was basically caffeine-free diet coke IIRC.

It also used to have a safety warning on the can because it was so chock full of Aspertain.

I grew up hearing it referred to as "rat poison", if that's any indicator.

Tab predated Aspritame/nutrasweet. It contained Saccharin which was subject to quite a bit of conterversy over the years, there was a big study in the 70's which claimed it was cancerous, but the test were mostly flawed, and its generally accepted as a safe product. (except by a few wackos)

TAB IS STILL AROUND OK I JUST BOUGHT A CASE LAST MONTH!

I want to try Coke Blak, BUT it doesn't come in diet. I'm bummed now.

It uses the C2 formula, so it's pretty much diet.
