Coca-Cola to retire Tab, its first diet soda, as it trims its portfolio

CNBC-
Coke first introduced Tab to consumers in 1963, aiming the zero-calorie drink at
women. In the 1970s and 1980s, as Americans tried fad diets, the diet soda grew
more popular but faded once Diet Coke was introduced in 1982. The company said
that Tab has maintained a “small but loyal” number of fans in recent decades.
More than half a century after Tab’s launch, Coke is betting on Diet Coke and Coke
Zero Sugar to fulfill consumers’ cravings for sugar-free, low calorie soda.

I thought the Tab bottles with the pronounced ridge/ledge at the top of the knurled glass "booster" section looked like rocket ships.
It was weird that there were like a zillion different variations on the bottles back then...
probably depended on who/where the bottle was made for the bottling plant.

I'm pretty sure I've had at least a couple bottles/cans when I was a kid but I don't have a clue what it tastes like.

1. I had no idea it still existed.
2. I recall every teacher I ever had in elementary school drinking this stuff.
3. I don't recall it tasting so good.

I just saw on TV news that TAB is an acronym for "Tasty Aerated Beverage".
