Certainly not the same thing!  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-06-2003 02:11 AM                     What the heck is Tab?  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-06-2003 02:23 AM                        quote: What the heck is Tab? It's a reformulated diet cola that is back in some areas. The original was pulled from the market in the 70s because it contained cyclamates, as did Fresca. Snappy brand names.  |  IP: Logged Richard Miller Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Lafayette, IN, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 03-20-2003 02:37 PM                     On the cafinee free Mountain Dew note the worst part is they make a diet version of that. Wouldn't that basically be Serra Mist but yellow?  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-20-2003 02:58 PM                     No, mountain dew and sierra mist taste very different. Sierra mist is a lemon-lime, mountain dew is something else.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Runyan Film Handler Posts: 1 From: Lynn, MA, USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 03-20-2003 03:00 PM                     Coke is so much better than pepsi. Pepsi is too watered down tasting. And diet coke is gross too. Normal or vanilla coke all the way!  |  IP: Logged Patrick McDonough Expert Film Handler Posts: 118 From: Greenfield Ma.

An Orange flavored Dew combining the "unique citrus taste of Mountain Dew with a bold orange flavor."

What is it with Taco Bell not selling Dr. Pepper anymore? It was the only thing they served that was drinkable, and now they don't sell it any longer. End result is I don't go there anymore, as I'm not going to make one stop for food and another for a drink. I'm told Tab was quite popular in the 60's and 70's. Now it's basically forgotten along with other once-popular brands like Fresca or Bubble Up. (I have a reel-to-reel tape of some 60's soda ads -- lots of stuff I'd never heard of like Sunburst, Par-T-Pak, Like, Nestle's Keen, Mr. Cola, as well as stuff like RC, Tab, 7 up, etc.) It's a little known fact that the formula for "New Coke" was developed as an "accident" when chemists for Coca-Cola were developing Diet Coke. I didn't totally hate New Coke, but I think they should've sold it in addition to "Old Coke", not a a replacement for good old Coca-Cola.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 05-05-2003 04:26 AM                        quote: Coke is so much better than pepsi.

(And Franklin, too.) I love that stuff!! No one I know agrees with me. quote: In Canada only dark coloured soft drinks can have caffeine, so if you come here, beware! Our Mountain Dew won't satisfy your addiction. Can you explain that to me? I don't get it.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Fuentz Expert Film Handler Posts: 230 From: Fresno, CA, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 05-05-2003 02:37 PM                     The place I used to work at had a Crystal Pepsi machine in the lunchroom. One day last year this guy points at it and says "When are we getting that kind of soda?"  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W. O'Shea Film God Posts: 3977 From: Midland Ontario Canada (where Panavision & IMAX lenses come from) Registered: Jun 2002 posted 05-05-2003 03:03 PM                        Ken, If the soda isn't dark (like black), as in Pepsi or Coke, it can't contain caffeine. If somebody were to try and sell clear coffee here, it wouldn't be allowed to contain caffeine either. Just another one of our fun laws... just like how we get points for speeding and running down pedestrians. BTW, I like Canadian Pepsi a hell of a lot more than American Pepsi.  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 05-05-2003 06:42 PM                     All right I did get the facts mixed up. Tab was the first sugar-free drink made by the Coca-Cola company but it is a different formula than Diet Coke. So yes they are not the same thing.
