What does Tab Energy Drink taste like?

I just had one. It tastes JUST LIKE something. Brings me right back to my childhood. But what is it? I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop buying it until I figure it out. And I don’t really like it.

What is this familiar taste?

Liquid death.

Aha! The Internet is good for everything. I tastes just like a cherry jolly rancher, transporting me right back to the days when Grandma would slip a few of them out of her purse to keep me quiet on long car rides and waiting at restaurants.

I always thought it had a vaguely cotton-candy taste, but yeah, I can see the cherry Jolly Rancher now.

Carbonated bubble gum :eek:

I thought it tasted like, awful.

So it doesn’t taste like Tab soda did? (Tab soda tasted like battery acid.)

Carbonated battery acid with a saccharine after taste, but yeah. I always wondered how grandma could drink that stuff.
