      You are so correct. You took the words (and the bad taste of Tab) right out of my mouth! Tab was the closest thing to drinking water from a car radiator. I am 66 years old and I can still remember the taste. It tasted slightly better in a glass bottle but not by much.

      Tasted much better after they started using calcium saccharin instead of the sodium type. Maybe 1/10 of that aftertaste.

    Hires was available by mail order until VERY recently, I bought a 24 pack in 2022 at an outrageous price, but it stopped being readily available ca 1980. Its very unfortunate that the inferior A&W was promoted at the expense of Hires.

    Vernor's Ginger Ale and RC Cola. The Vernor's is still around, but hard to find and NOT the same. It use to be crisp and refreshing, now it's icky cloying to drink and leaves an aftertaste, too much sweetener even though it's a 'zero sugar'. I haven't seen RC in ages.

    Shasta Tiki was my favorite. We had it every time we went camping in the summer here in Texas. I remember when TaB was going to give everyone cancer b/c of the saccharin in it. I loved Fresca as a kid. Aspen was good too. Apple soda wasn't too bad.

    At the grocery store my Mom always went to when I was a kid, there was always a display of pop right inside the front door. Eight 16 oz bottles for $0.99. And it was always something like Tab or Diet Rite. Try as I might I couldn't get Mom to recognize the difference between (say) Tab and Pepsi. So I have lots of memories choking down Tab. That stuff was terrible.
    Fresca was a drink that only showed up in the house around special occassions - Christmas, guests, that sort of thing. Mom used it in some sort of recipe she had. It wasn't as a mixer because there was never any alcohol harder than wine in the house. But I remember pouring Fresca into a wine glass because it seemed to me a more "adult" drink. When you are little, something like that makes you feel a little more grown up.

    • @jons.6216
      @jons.6216 Месяц назад

      You can still get Vernor's, depending where you look! I used to find it in Smart and Final, but now a small grocery near where I live carries both the regular and diet versions.

    I've been able to find Dad's Root Beer in Big Lots - if it is in fact a product instead of Hires! As far as I'm concerned, Shasta may as well be a thing of the past because I found my old favorite Tiki Punch and it didn't taste right at all made with modern corn sweetener! I think Nehi stopped being produced when I was a young kid because when I saw an old glass bottle of one in a thrift store I didn't know it wasn't spelled "Knee High"! Haha!

    I remember Fresca! The OLD Fresca that is. In fact the first time I drank it I recognized it for what it really was, a cocktail base called "Tom Collins Mixer" except a bit sweeter. "T-C Mixer" had a strong lemon-lime flavor with a sharp snap to it which I actually preferred but Fresca (Italian for refreshing by the way!) was pretty good in it's own right.
    The last time I had it was 20 years ago, I hadn't seen it in years and saw it for sale in a vending machine so needless to say I had to give it a try. YUCK! They changed the formula! Ruined it! I haven't had one since.
