Vintage Cups, Glasses and Mugs

In our blogs, we’ve been featuring a different promotional or corporate restaurantware product made over the years. This is another in the group of cool retro cups, glasses or mugs from our large collection. Here we’ll be sharing what we’ve learned about it and we welcome your additional input and comments.

Tab, a product of the Coca-Cola Company was the first major brand of diet cola. It was introduced into the soft drink market in 1963 as a soft drink for consumers trying to watch their weight. Tab was very popular until Diet Coke was released in 1982. Tab is still sold today, but with limited distribution. This cup is stamped with the words “Free Sample” and probably dates to the earliest days of Tab’s history when it was first being introduced to the public.
