Tab Energy

Tab Energy
Cost: $? 10.5 oz
Active ingredients: B3, B6, B12, Ginseng, Caffeine, Guarana, Taurine
Rating: 7 out of 10

I must admit this is a pretty good entry into the market I wasn't a fan of Coca Cola's Full Throttle attempt at the energy drink market, but I do like Tab. I guess they are marketing Tab at women, but don't let that fool you guys out their. This is a good tasting drink with only 5 calories and no sugar. With that you would expect it to taste bad, but it doesn't it tastes like delicious candy. I will still say coke is putting a little less of the expensive energy ingredients than competitors, but overall this is still a really good drink for those not wanting to take down a ton of calories and sugars. This drink packs 785 mg of Taurine instead of the 1000 mg found on average, but it still does the job and pumps you up. A nice added bonus is this drink doesn't have the horrible sugar crash hat comes along with many of the other drinks. Tab has sweet kinda cotton candy like flavor, but not too super sweet to turn me off from it. It is a pink color and a pink can so men that think their can makes them macho might not like this drink, but if your looking for a solid and healthy energy drink then Tab might just be the right drink for you.

Tab energy drink blows butthole. I bought it thinking this :

"TAB sucks... Who in their right MIND would buy this? I gotta try it..."

Of course, I got what I expected. Different taste, but same level of "tastiness" when compared to TAB versus soft drinks.

Ick.

I found your site through Fark. I'm sorry I did. You write painfully, like a poorly trained 7th-grader. Read more, it might help.

Posted by: Me at March 19, 2006 09:39 PM

Tastes like the old Jolly Rancher watermelon-flavored candy sticks.

HOW HAVE YOU NOT REVIEWED REDLINE YET?

IT PUTS ALL OF THESE TO SHAME.

SERIOUSLY, YOU'LL GET THE SHAKES.

Posted by: Mike at March 19, 2006 10:50 PM

YOU SUCJJING HAAH I LOVE YOU LOL

Posted by: ALLIGATOR at March 20, 2006 01:36 AM

how is it sweetened? aspartame? sucralose? saccharine?

dont you think that's pertinent information?

Posted by: bleh at March 20, 2006 07:31 PM

Tab contains Sucralose, if I am correct, and I found it to be rather decent in taste, however I thought that it was kind of tame in the energy department. It kept me awake, but...that doesn't take much.

I wonder if Vault soda is a decent candidate for a review. It's got a lot of caffeine...

Posted by: Asok at March 26, 2006 12:45 PM

tab tastes like if u combined cucombers with water, iyts the worst tasting "thing" that is buyable in the food market, i definatly coudnlt finish

Posted by: fuck tab at March 29, 2006 09:33 PM

It's sweetened with vegetable juice - and you can definitely taste it. I think it's probably carrot and cucumber. It doesn't taste like your average 'diet' energy drink (like the blue monster or blue sobe adrenaline rush, which actually taste quite similar). It is definitely less acidic ... but something to get used to.

Posted by: DiabloKitty at March 31, 2006 09:48 PM

This stuff is awesome!!! i drank this one morning and was pumped and ready to go for school the taste is awesome and i recomend or however u spel it to anyone!!!!

It's great! Tastes good considering the fact that it's an energy drink. Makes you more alert but not crazy. And it's only FIVE calories!

Posted by: Ann at April 19, 2006 09:08 PM

I am hooked on it because it tastes 10X better then red bull and it does not have all of the sweet poison in it like all of the other sugar free energy drinks,and it gets me going especially if I consume two right away.

Posted by: Frank at April 28, 2006 03:30 PM

I love this drink!!!!!!! It is the only energy drink that I can drink without crashing hard afterward.

Posted by: Jess at May 2, 2006 03:34 PM

dude this tasted EXACTLY like a cherry jolly rancher.
but thats just me, my friend thought it was more grape jolly rancher... but thats still in the same feild.

i'm gonna try to make one of these sites....

have any of u guys tried pimpjuice, phantom, or even the beast?
yeah, the're pretty great too.

OH! and rip it citrus is like orange soda... but has a narly kick and a fantastic after taste!

Posted by: amyk at May 3, 2006 09:54 AM

I think you could have a great website if you used some common knowledge skills, such as every time you purchase an energy drink, jot down the price, the name, and what it contains. This is not difficult to do-otherwise, people are going to constantly trash you. Also, perhaps use spell-check, it would look much more professional. Perhaps post a picture of the energy drink along with the rating. I think the Tab energy drinks are wonderful,therefore, I must agree with you on that one!

Posted by: Laurie at May 5, 2006 07:50 PM

Laurie,

I am guessing you haven't read the FAQ. I now spell check all new entries, and I have gone through and spell checked all the old entries as well. As for the price, the reason it is a question mark is most of the drinks I never purchase, they are sent to me by the companies, because they want me to review their products. If I only reviewed what I could find in gas stations around me, I would have about half the reviews I currently have. So that is why so many drinks have an unknown price. As for the name and what it contains I don't really understand your issue here, I have the name of all drinks, and I have all the ingredients. I actually have 1 can saved from every drink I have ever had. As for the pictures I have thought about that time and time again, but it would really take a lot of time and effort to take all the pictures. I now have over 170 reviews, I would have to set up and take pictures of each can, then scale and resize them and edit all 170 entries to include the picture. I just haven't thought it was worth it, and really the can/bottle doesn't change or effect the taste. Anyways thanks for your input hopefully, all the readers will slowly notice all the changes I have been making to make the site easier to use.

Keep up with the input and comments on the site, it is part of what makes this place great.

Posted by: Dan "energy" Man at May 6, 2006 10:17 AM

It's "there," not "their" and "you're" not "your." And your writing is truly painful to read. You think this swill is "healthy?" Tab Energy is not, by any measure, "healthy." It's an evil-tasting slyly marketed can of toxic waste.

I just realized that English probably isn't your first language. Sorry.

Posted by: Barbie at May 23, 2006 09:23 PM

i love TaB energy, and totally agree that it tastes like a jolly rancher...though i can't commit to which flavor it reminds me of.

i have been trying to find out how much caffeine this stuff has...but it's impossible!!! PLEASE, can someone tell me how much caffeine is in this drink???

Posted by: jenny at June 3, 2006 10:36 AM

What the fuck are you talking about? This shit tastes nothing like candy! It tastes like what dirt smells like? Your reviews on this stuff are retarded and I don't think you have any fucking taste buds at all...

Posted by: Shoes untied at June 4, 2006 02:08 PM

After trying Redbull, I didn't think I'd ever like any energy drinks. I was surprised when I tried Tab. [The pink is what drew me in, I must admit].
I just love it. :)

Posted by: Erica at June 25, 2006 06:45 PM

Yummy stuff! Like drinking a melted, chilled Jolly Rancher candy. And just what this lady needs to get her going and cut through the sleep fog. And five skinny calories!

Posted by: Sparkina at June 27, 2006 10:05 PM

i think tab tastes like lettuce and then grapes.

Posted by: meame at June 27, 2006 10:15 PM

see my dad works at Coke his said it's Pink cause it a girl's energy drink thats why it's pink and to me it ok to drink

Posted by: Chris at June 29, 2006 12:07 PM

Tab is an amazing energy drink. It only has five calories, tastes great compared to others, and doesnt make you shaky and overwhelmed. I'm addicted... I have at least 1 a day. The only bad thing I have to say is the price. I love Tab and would buy it in bulk if only it were a tad bit cheaper. Everyone on here who is complaining about the spelling and review on this website is ridiculous and should pick up a hobby. Dan the energy man...your doing a great job keep it up.

Posted by: Jasmine at July 10, 2006 02:30 PM

TAB IS FUCKING AMAZING. STFU

Posted by: Melissa at July 15, 2006 09:38 PM

I love this drink. The taste isn't bad at all. It does pump me up unlike Vault. I have one or two everyday.

Posted by: Rose at July 24, 2006 09:13 AM

I LOVE IT!!!! I tried it yesterday afternoon and have already had 5 by noon today! It has replaced Mt. Dew as my favorite drink and Does NOT give me the shakes like Mt. Dew. I love that is has NO sugar and is yet the most delious Dt. Drink I've ever had.

Posted by: Dana at August 11, 2006 12:52 PM

Im Diabetic, and it's getting hard to find the
sugar free energy drinks because non diabetics
like them better"due to diets and watching carbs" Wich is fine, so if theirs more S/F drinks to choose from that's great. I like the sugar free sobie's.

Posted by: Marcy at August 23, 2006 12:54 PM

Dana, I think you need to cut back 5 cans by noon, that's insane.

I had my first TAB this morning, the initial taste is somewhat Jolly Rancher reminiscent but also kind of tastes like beets or some other strange veggie. Its bearable though, we’ll see how it does on energy... I drank it on an empty stomach and thankfully it hasn’t given me that empty/hurting stomach feeling

Posted by: j at August 30, 2006 10:30 AM

I have recently tried the TAB energy drink. I am normally not fan of energy drinks, however this one is different. I opinions are objective so there will be positive or negative opinions. It is all a matter of taste. I enjoy it! I have recently lost 75 lbs and have about 15 more lbs to go to reach my goal. This energy drink does give me the kick I need mid-day, i just wonder exactly how much caffeine is in it!

Posted by: D at September 21, 2006 10:00 AM

FYI .. just found it! 95 mg caffeine in every can.

Posted by: D at September 21, 2006 10:10 AM

I just tried Tab Energy for the first time today. I like it - gives me a good energy boost. At first the taste was quite pleasant, compared to Red Bull, but, I decided, I must drink it cold. When it warms up it tastes like a watermelon jolly rancher mixed with a little butt cheese.

Posted by: Tiffany at September 27, 2006 04:21 PM

I love TAB! The low calories and low sugar makes it that much better. If you take a can of tab and a can of say, red bull and compare.. you'd be amazed. TAB is so much healthier for you and still gives you that added energy.

Not to mention it takes like watermelon jolly ranchers!! Yumm

Posted by: Amanda at October 11, 2006 07:56 AM

It tastes like Cucumber and dirt. completely shitty and my 2nd least favorite (after romba or whatever)

Posted by: captj at October 30, 2006 08:56 AM

I personally love tab energy (Even though regular tab is NASTY). I think it's really good and everyone I know likes it.

Posted by: Annie at November 6, 2006 07:27 PM

Hey If tab is sooo goot then why did he not make it a 10 out of 10, I think it is just as good as a monster

Posted by: andrew at November 7, 2006 08:24 PM

This is pretty good! The taste isn't that bad, but this is the only energy drink i have tried (i'm only 12)!! Anyways, i drank the whole thing and like five minutes later i was SOOOO HYPER!!! i was like jumping around my room! this stuff is insane i love it! <3

Posted by: Bootylicious at December 12, 2006 04:20 PM

good taste

Posted by: cam at January 14, 2007 09:44 AM

There is so many energy drinks if they had a cahnce to send out samples please keep in mind that i'm interrested please e-mail me back please. thank you

Posted by: Monique Beaupre at February 19, 2007 04:50 PM

Tab energy drink tastes so good, but I wish it had more caffeine. It tastes like a Jolly Rancher for sure! Cherry, grape, watermelon, whatever flavor you decipher.
It's in a pink can, so all of the homophobes and macho men won't drink it. Trust me, I was drinking one around at least 10 guys, and not one would said they would drink it in public!
So I switched to Spike. Equally as yummy with probably three times the caffeine for the same price. I wouldn't know how much caffeine is in a Tab because they don't post it. I would guess it's less than 100mg.

Posted by: Julie at April 2, 2007 05:10 PM

Tab Energy -- not to be confused with Tab soda, which still exists and is fully hideous -- is a masterpiece of taste-mixing. The demigods of flavoring knew full-well the initial Tab Energy taste would confound most and even alienate some. However, the mastermakers also knew they had concocted a provocative substance that would crawl under the taste buds of those drawn to the odd elixur, moving in for a long stay.
Notes: Veggie/fruit juice is used ONLY for coloring, offering virtually no taste, per company literature. As noted in an earlier comment, this drink (more than possibly any other energy drink) dies a slow death as it warms, fading into a tepid, obviously artificial undrinkable fluid.
For pure drink data and the specifics of every known drinkable substance, go to the BevNet website.

I absolutely love Tab,
