Brand Noise reports that Coca-Cola will introduce Tab Energy this year. Comparable to Red Bull, Tab Energy will be available in 10.5 ounce slim cans patterned in fuchsia gingham. Tab was Coca-Cola Company’s first sugar-free drink, introduced in 1963, and is still available in limited quantities.
The new soft drink will not use Saccharin like original Tab. Instead it will contain Sucralose.
In an odd twist, The New Yorker, also deemed this latest brand extension worthy of coverage. Ben McGrath in “The Talk of the Town” segment points out that Tab is popular with media elites, despite it’s limited distribution.
