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.

As a kid when Tab came out it tasted like it was about two molecules away from battery acid. That stuff and Fresca would make your babies be born naked with no teeth!
