REMEMBER THE UN-COLA OF THE 70’s?

Coca-Cola to discontinue TAB, the company's first diet soda - MultiMediaMouth | Entertainment ...    
    
    
   

Let’s journey back to the fizzy world of 1970s soda culture
and reminisce about Tab, the forgotten gem of soda pop
aficionados. Introduced by The Coca-Cola Company in
1963, Tab became a staple of the ’70s beverage scene,
offering a low-calorie alternative to traditional sodas.

Marketed primarily towards women as a diet soda, Tab
gained a devoted following thanks to its distinctively pink
packaging and catchy advertising campaigns.

Despite its initial popularity, Tab eventually fizzled out in
the late ’70s and early ’80s as other diet sodas like Diet
Coke took center stage. However, for those who remember
the tangy taste and iconic pink cans of Tab, it remains a
fond memory of a bygone era in soda history.

SLICED BREAD RATIONED ON THIS DAY

Pin on This Day In History

World War II restrictions cut deep into every American pantry
as federal officials announced that sliced bread would be
rationed on this day in history, Jan. 18, 1943.

"I should like to let you know how important sliced bread is to
the morale and saneness of a household," distraught mother
Sue Forrester of Fairfield, Connecticut, claiming to speak on
behalf of America’s housewives, lamented in a New York Times
letter to the editor.

Wartime rationing had already caused severe restrictions on
the nation’s household
food supply.

Basic resources were devoted in ever-growing volume to the
war effort in 1943, as the tide of battle turned and the U.S. and
its Allies went on the offensive across the vast expanse of two
oceans.

Bread rationing marked the depths of sacrifices on the home
front.
