The New Yorker talks Tab

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Jun 25th 2006 @ 7:04PM

All you Tab drinkers out there should get a kick out of a New Yorker story about the love for the pink can in the journalism world. In a recent Talk of the Town section, Ben McGrath quotes several Tab lovers, including Atlantic Monthly owner David Bradley, who describes the diet-cola-loving clique as "a lonely but inspired society." New York Times film critic David Edelstein talks about a keen ability to scan shelves of beverages and find the prized pink cylinder and former Washington Post editor Steve Isaacs even has his journalism students brainstorm story ideas based on Tab. There's also talk of the new Tab Energy drink, but, as long as regular Tab is still around, it doesn't really sound like anyone will care.

People would look at me weird when I drank it. Granted, I was drinking it in High School while everyone else drank Pepsi, but who cares!
