Tab, Tab cola, what a beautiful drink

I think of Tab as a 1970s drink, in its little pink can.

But it was around even earlier than that, in bottles, and apparently it was used as a mental torture device to keep housewives in line: Drink Tab and keep thin or your husband will forget about you completely.

Or, in Tab lingo: Be a mindsticker! (Via Metafilter.)

That was...chilling.

From the days when people weren't in good shape, they just had a good shape.

My mind is so boggled I can't even tell you. What a load of CRAP.
