Pop by for a party! Drink in our tribute to 1960s legend Tab, shelved after 57 years. \u00a0Cond\u00e9 Nast and TWA is\u00a0throwing a retirement party daily for the one-calorie cola conceived in 1962, the year the TWA Flight Center opened. Every evening at 7 PM, a tribute to the carbonated sip (discontinued in December 2020) flips on the Solari departures board.<\/p>\n
Marvel at a museum-quality oil painting of the famed fizz and pose with a four-foot replica. Then check out an exhibition about how Tab is spending its golden years. Now that it has canned the soda gig, Tab is tanning, fishing and golfing. There is life after pop stardom!<\/p>\n
The TWA Hotel shares a special connection with the bubbly beverage. As the TWA Flight Center designed by Eero Saarinen opened to great acclaim in 1962, low-calorie cola was all the rage. Royal Crown\u2019s Diet Rite offered two calories in 12 ounces compared with regular pop\u2019s 80 to 120 calories \u2014 and it was flying off the shelves. Coca-Cola\u2019s chemists raced to adapt their wildly popular soft drink, Coke.<\/p>\n
