Crisis averted, crisis averted, Tab is now in new packaging.
After several calls and follow up calls to Coca-Cola bottling and Coca-Cola Consumer affairs I received a call from Sheila at the Coca-Cola bottling in Oakland California informing me that Tab had indeed discontinued the 6 pack packaging however they were now producing the 12 pack refrigerator packaging. Also there was a delay in getting it on shelves as the stores needed to approve the shelf space for the new package.
Last night I found the 12 packs at Freddies.
I actually thought this was one possibility a few weeks ago because I saw the 12 pack at Figs (the sundry store in the office building across the street from work) I had never seen that packaging before so I was hoping for this best case scenario.
Thanks to Leslie, Mike, Diane, Della and Vivian who all looked in their local stores for me. I really appreciate your concern for my addiction. Chari had mentioned rehab and in Amy’s words I say No, No, No.
