As if 2020 wasn’t bad enough, Coca Cola announced today that it will stop production of their first diet soda TaB. Yes, it was still around because it has a dedicated fan base.
“We’re forever grateful to TaB for paving the way for the diets and lights category, and to the legion of TaB lovers who have embraced the brand for nearly six decades,” said Kerri Kopp, group director, Diet Coke, Coca-Cola North America. “If not for TaB, we wouldn’t have Diet Coke or Coke Zero Sugar. TaB did its job. In order to continue to innovate and give consumers the choices they want today, we have to make decisions like this one as part of our portfolio rationalization work.”
TaB was first introduced in 1963, and it will say goodbye at the end of the year. Make sure to stock up because it won’t be around for much longer.
Along with TaB, Zico Coconut Water, Odwalla, Coca-Cola Life, Diet Coke Feisty Cherry, Northern Neck Ginger Ale, and Delaware Punch will not be around in 2021. Damn you 2020. Leave something for 2021.

There is nothing sweeter than a caramel milkshake, and there is nothing more savory than bacon. Right? Well, Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs is combining the two for a limited time for their Bacon Caramel Premium Shake.
While everyone is doing pumpkin spice everything to represent fall, I think bacon works better to get the season’s message across. That is why I am drooling to try their concoction. What about you? Does it make your mouth wet?
Back in 1996, Aly Sherb’s grandmother bought a McDonald’s hamburger and fries, and put it in a shoebox in her closet. Aly wanted to see it, so her grandmother showed it to us. It looks almost the same now as it did on the day she bought it. How scary is that?
Part of me wants to buy one and do the same thing. Then the other part of me is really craving one. What about you?
I saw this story because Jason Alexander responded to it. Back in 1985, he did a commercial for them, so he said, “Has to be one of the MCDLT’s we used in the commercial. Keeps the hot, hot. Keeps the cool, cool. I’m sensing a comeback.” I hope they bring it back and have him recreate the advertisement.
Before Rita Wilson was eating Greek food when she producers My Big Fat Greek Wedding, she was eating Wendy’s. She looks the same now as she did when she was 25 in that 1982 commercial.
Are you like me and only buy Lucky Charms for their hard marshmallows? Well, coming in a few weeks, you will not have to buy the cereal in order to get the sugary charms. That is because they will be selling pouches of Just Magical Marshmallows for $3.99 in stores for a limited time.
Hopefully, if enough of us buy it, it will go from limited to permanent.
