What is the deal with companies still making products and not promoting them? Coca-Cola is a huge company, and they advertise the hell out of Coke and Diet Coke (totally independantly of one another, I might add), and thier other sodas, as well as Minute Maid Juices, yet Tab vanishes from all media. Well, fine, so stop making it. But ten years or more since the last Tab commercial, or redesign of the package, and you can still find it! I don\'t get it. On a similar, and mostly unrelated note, in around \'93 or \'94, Nissan had a car called the NX, which was the redesign of the Pulsar NX, that only existed for about 2-3 years. I never once saw this car advertised. I also never saw it in the car magazines, or anywhere else, but occasionally on the road. It was like they didn\'t really want to sell them at all. No surprise the model wasn\'t around long. Too bad, they were cute.
