Tab was the first widely available diet soda, having been released in 1963. It was widely available across America and swiftly gained popularity as the go-to vending machine product until 2020, when it was withdrawn. Tab was well-known for both its unique logo and its sweet, tangy flavor.

Tab was first flavored with saccharin and then modified with aspartame to give it the same delicious flavor but fewer calories. It continues to be a sentimental favorite for anyone who made it through childhood in the 1960s. Among the many drinks Coca-Cola has tried on the general public throughout the years, Tab is the most popular.
