I think that gal drinks that to warsh the Virginia Slims taste out of her mouth. lol

I had a friend that always had Tab and Fresca at their house. His mother thought she needed to watch her calories, I remember ,both of them, being undrinkable, to childhood me.
Fast forward many years, on a trip to Vegas, the wife and I stopped at the Coca-Cola shop, and bought a Tab energy drink. It was very delicious, tasted like a Jolly Rancher candy.
I have never seen them anywhere since.
As for Fresca, I believe they have changed the formula, because I enjoy one of those now and again (with or without additives) I find them quite refreshing.
