Iceland Review

In the next few days/weeks, I will be recapping some of the hilarious and/or edifying things I encountered on my trip to Iceland. For one thing, they still have Tab there!

They may still have Tab in the US, but if so, I never see it. You can imagine my excitement at finding it in the Icelandic supermarket, 10-11 (which are its hours, decidedly less ambitious than our own 7-11). It only cost $4.50 a bottle, which by Iceland standards is eminently fair. Especially for Tab!

After buying the Tab I ran back to my guesthouse, not wanting to experience such a personal moment as drinking Tab for the first time in 17 years with any but my own company. After locking the door and drawing the blinds, I opened the Tab. I then drank the Tab.

It was as disappointing as I remember!

well they do have Tab and Tab Energy in america still. although it is not that common. oddly enough, my friend used to stock his fridge with just Tab and caffeine free diet coke. so I used to drink my fair share of Tab, even though it was pretty bad.
