Tab Soda Bottles – Classic Diet Cola in Glass & Plastic
Our classic Tab soda bottle brings back the authentic cola experience in premium 16-ounce glass. We crafted this diet cola formula in 1963, and it remains the same bold, satisfying taste loyal fans remember — zero sugar, distinctive pink label, and that unmistakable Tab flavor profile.
The glass bottle format preserves carbonation longer than plastic and delivers a crisper drinking experience. Each bottle is designed for single-serve enjoyment, whether you’re relaxing at home or need a refreshing pick-me-up during your busy day. We use recyclable glass that honors our heritage while meeting modern sustainability expectations.
What makes our bottles special
Sustainability & Recycling
Both our glass and plastic Tab soda bottles are fully recyclable. Glass bottles can be rinsed and placed in your curbside recycling bin or returned to bottle redemption centers in states with deposit programs. Our PET plastic bottles are marked with recycling code #1, accepted by most municipal recycling programs nationwide.
We encourage you to check your local recycling guidelines, as acceptance varies by region. Remove caps before recycling plastic bottles, as the polypropylene caps may require separate processing. By recycling your Tab bottles, you help reduce waste and support the circular economy for beverage packaging materials.

Tab soda bottle questions

Absolutely. Both our glass and plastic Tab bottles are fully recyclable through most municipal programs. Glass bottles should be rinsed and placed in glass recycling bins or returned to bottle deposit centers in applicable states.
Our plastic bottles use #1 PET plastic accepted by the majority of curbside recycling programs. Remove the cap before recycling, as caps may require separate processing depending on your local facility’s guidelines.
Unopened Tab soda bottles maintain optimal quality for 9-12 months when stored properly in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Check the ‘Best By’ date printed on the bottle label for specific guidance.
For best taste and carbonation, we recommend consuming bottles within six months of purchase. Once opened, reseal plastic bottles tightly and refrigerate; consume within 2-3 days. Glass bottles lack resealable caps and should be enjoyed in one sitting.
The Tab formula inside is identical whether you choose bottles or cans — same zero-sugar recipe, same bold taste. The difference lies in format benefits.
Glass bottles offer premium presentation and superior carbonation retention. Plastic bottles provide portability and resealability. Cans are lightweight, chill quickly, and block all light for consistent flavor. Choose based on your situation: glass for special occasions, plastic for travel, cans for everyday convenience and value.
You can purchase Tab soda bottles directly from our official online store with delivery to most U.S. addresses. We offer both glass and plastic bottle formats in single units, six-packs, and case quantities.
Select specialty beverage retailers and vintage soda shops also carry Tab bottles online. When ordering, verify you’re buying from authorized sellers to ensure product freshness and authenticity.
Yes, both our glass and plastic Tab soda bottles contain caffeine as part of the original formula. The 16-ounce glass bottle contains 46mg of caffeine, while the 20-ounce plastic bottle contains 57.5mg.
This places Tab in the moderate caffeine range — more than most colas but less than coffee. If you’re sensitive to caffeine, consider our serving size and your daily intake from other sources.
