(There's an empty can sitting to the right of my keyboard right this second and I'm about to make my way to the kitchen to get a new one.) Did you try the energy drink? I'm dying to know how it tastes. Obviously not dying enough to buy it, though.Margo, darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193606426735982096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16010478.post-1140539605489842662006-02-21T08:33:00.000-08:002006-02-21T08:33:00.000-08:00I heart Tab!

It can be hard to find in certain markets, but here in Cold City they sell it everywhere, in smart pink 12-can packs that have a girl thrilled to be able to walk home swinging her 12-pack like she hasn't a care in the world! A girlfriend of mine actually went online on Ebay and got those old skinny glasses, the ones with the "cinched waist" that figured so prominently in commercials with the Tab logo on them. They were fabique. But I disagree with some of the commentators here: Tab is delicious, caramel flavoured with a light, vanilla undertaste. So yummy I think I'll have one RIGHT NOW!Oso Rarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345231159759787852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16010478.post-1140055318965423792006-02-15T18:01:00.000-08:002006-02-15T18:01:00.000-08:00Tab got yanked because of a political scandal...it...Tab got yanked because of a political scandal...it had to do with two artificial sweeteners coming out at the same time. One company donated to the winning politician's campaign, the other did not.

A sassy, fresh taste you've been waiting for..."<BR/><BR/>IIRC... it's been ages since I've heard it so I remember the tune better than the lyrics.

Of course, I thought it actually did taste like something that would give you cancer, but I kept one can of it around just to add to my gay cred.<BR/><BR/>That can is still sitting on top of my desk.
