Are these products still around and does anyone drink them?
 
They're all still around. Although Tab is a little harder to find then the other two. Tab and Fresca are Coca-Cola products. Tang is owned by Kraft Foods.

I don't drink any of them...never have.
 
Tang, for the astronauts.........

Fresca, for when you couldn't find Squirt (Now there's an oldie)

Tab, kind of like an Edsel. Somewhere between a Ford and a Mercury, with no market between Coke and Pepsi.
 
Fresca is alive and popular here. I've seen TAB around but not like it was years ago - I think the variety of diet drinks has squeezed that market.
 
I like to sprinkle a bit of Tang on ice cream, or mix it into a glass of milk. Instant-orange Cream-cicle.
Kinda like how Maypo is still around. good stuff...
 
Ovaltine has made a come-back in this family. Started off as a joke, now it's a daily treat.
 
How about a cold Simba...A great Coke product that came and went.

Does anyone else remember knee-hi's?

Is 50 old? Man, I thought so...

Cheers to what ever you are tipping tonight,

Steve

Squirt is still around, anybody know if Wink is still on the shelves? I used to get that when I visited the grandparents in upstate New York.
 
I still drink Fresca, always liked it.

Never wore them. :smirk:

But I DO remember Nehi drinks. Orange was my favorite.

And Squirt and Wink as well.
 
How about Moxie? That stuff has been around forever. It's the official soft drink of Maine. However, it's sort of an acquired taste. :sick:

That's a rather "kind" way of stating that, Art.
 
Moxie is just about the only soft drink I ever drink. It is a bit tougher to find, but a few places around here still carry it in cans.
I do miss Aspen which Pepsi made for a few years...an apple flavored soda. I was out around 1980.
 
No one's mentioned Ya-hoo or my personal favorite - Tahitian Treat! :laugh:
 
Grape Nehi.. Wasen't that Radar's drink of choice?
Red pop is one of my favorites. Strawberry soda. A local treat here is the Ithaca Soda Company ginger beer (non-alcoholic). Similar to Saranacs ginger beer, but quite a bit spicier. Yummmmm.
 
Orange Crush? Blenheims (sp) ginger ale?
