TAB Energy?

Have you seen this product in stores? TAB Energy?

First of all, I thought they stopped making TAB after the TAB Clear fiasco that still haunts my dreams when I think of all the possibilities. I mean seriously, has anyone seen this product in stores besides Johnny's One Stop Dollar Shop?

Second of all, TAB is a disgusting product. What it does is take all of the blehiness from Diet Rite and crams it together with whatever the hell was leftover from the old vats of OK! Soda (speaking of OK! Soda...why don't they bring that back in regular and energy forms. That's a product America is clamoring for). So, essentially it takes all the bad things from other pops and makes you think of typing. Mmmmmm...

And lastly, TAB is, and always has been, a drink for old people. You never see some young buck, chilling outside Starbucks, with a bottle of TAB on the table. No. The only place you ever see TAB is in the back of your Grandma's pop closet, gathering cobwebs, being used as a fort by the badgers feasting on old McDonald's Quarter Pounders.

So, why would they make that into an energy drink? The "energy drink fad" seems to be a young person things too. What's next? Metamucil Xtreme! Ensure Power! Fixodent Zero! There's a whole market here waiting to be exploited.

Go TAB Energy! Go!

I strongly disagree, you really have to reintrocuce yourself to the full bodied flavor that tab gives you. There's a reason that old people drink it...they're wiser. It's not watered down like diet coke or whatever you're drinking right now, just off to your right side, right above your mouse pad, yeah, it's better than that. It's also excellent with cheap rum, but then again what isn't.
