did i miss that memo?

Didn't they stop making Tab back in the late 80's or early 90's? When did they bring it back? WHY did they bring it back? That stuff tastes nasty. There were only three 6-packs on the shelf: is it so popular that it sells out, or so reviled that those cans have been there since it was discontinued? How did i not notice it until last night? I'm very confused.

Did you check the ingredients? Does it still use saccharine?

The last time I saw a can of Tab was in 1977 when my mom bought it at the Columbia community pool (1 0f 22, but that's another issue) to put on my bee sting. I questioned her judgment as to why she didn't get something we could at least drink afterward. At 3 years old even I knew it was nasty stuff.

I've seen it recently down here. Have never had it though.

Tab on a bee sting?
Wasn't your mom a nurse?!?

Clarification: the cold can, not the contents. Yuck : )
