Tab lovers hope to convince Coca-Cola to revive the once popular diet soda

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:41:47 GMT

Rodney Ho | The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (TNS)Coca-Cola discontinued its once groundbreaking Tab diet soda three years ago and a hardy group of fans are actively trying to get the company to bring it back to retail shelves.Last month, on a sunny fall Friday, a dozen of them from all over the country gathered at the World of Coca-Cola Museum and handed over a petition with 6,500 names and several handwritten pleas to a Coke executive, who came over from headquarters less than a mile away.“We thought it would be fun to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Tab in Atlanta,” said Adam Burbach, a 41-year-old Lincoln, Nebraska resident who organized the trip.The group went on a VIP tour of the museum, then spent more than 30 minutes in the dispensary room featuring hundreds of sodas from around the world. Why? There also happened to be six dispensers of Tab.It’s one of the few places left in the world to actually taste Tab besides a Coca-Cola store in Las Vegas and Disneyland in Anaheim, ...

Mookie Betts to be Dodgers’ everyday second baseman

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:41:47 GMT

If the Red Sox needed another reason to regret trading Mookie Betts, they just got one.Their erstwhile homegrown star, already a six-time Gold Glove winner in the first ten years of his Major League career, is shifting to the Dodgers’ infield.“It’s pretty safe to say that Mookie Betts is going to be our everyday second baseman,” Los Angeles manager (and 2004 Red Sox hero) Dave Roberts told High Heat’s Alanna Rizzo.Boston drafted Betts as a second baseman in 2011, and he played 230 minor league games at the position. It was largely due to Dustin Pedroia’s Gold Glove grasp that, as a top prospect, he first shifted to the outfield before his Major League debut in June 2014. He played centerfield and shortstop in high school, but Xander Bogaerts had debuted the previous summer, and locked down the latter.“I think it’s going to be fun, if they do move me,” Betts told the Herald at the time. “I enjoy learning new things.”Af...

In face of threats, election workers vow: ‘You are not disrupting the democratic process’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:41:47 GMT

Matt Vasilogambros | Stateline.org (TNS)Hundreds of election workers in Washington state’s second-largest county were busy opening mail-in ballots earlier this month when one of them came across a plain white envelope. As she cut it open, white powder leaked out.She carefully took off her gloves, put them down, backed away and called her supervisor. Workers evacuated the building and waited for the Tacoma Fire Department to arrive. While first responders tested the substance, Democratic and Republican observers gathered at the emergency management center looking at security feeds of the election office to ensure there wasn’t any ballot tampering.Pierce County Auditor Linda Farmer, the nonpartisan election official for the metropolitan area south of Seattle, said she felt lucky no one got hurt.“We’ve got a really strong, resilient workforce,” she said, choking up in an interview with Stateline. “Nobody left. They were a little shaken up, understandably unsure of what was going on. Bu...

Canada’s climate lobby pushes for oil, gas emissions cap with fashion statement

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:41:47 GMT

OTTAWA — Canada’s climate lobby wants its demand for an oil-and-gas emissions cap to go straight to Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s head.Dozens of Canada’s environmental activists are wandering around the event sites at COP28 in Dubai sporting matching baseball hats with the word “emissions” on the front.The fashion-statement “emissions caps” have become a must-have souvenir of the global climate talks, though only a couple of hundred exist.The head of Climate Action Network Canada gifted one to Guilbeault in the opening hours of COP28, but she says she told Guilbeault he cannot wear it yet.Caroline Brouillette says he is only allowed to put it on if he finally publishes the framework for his government’s long-promised cap on greenhouse-gas emissions from the oil-and-gas sector.She says Guilbeault laughed as he accepted the gift, and told her he would be surprised if he isn’t wearing it before the talks end on Dec. 12.Th...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:41:47 GMT

MONTREAL — Quebec’s prosecution service says it has abandoned criminal charges against Vincenzo Guzzo, CEO of a large independent movie theatre chain and investor on CBC Television’s “Dragon’s Den.”Service spokeswoman Patricia Johnson says new evidence has led prosecutors to doubt whether there is a reasonable chance of conviction.Guzzo, the CEO of movie theatre chain Cinemas Guzzo, had been charged with criminal harassment and breach of condition.In a written statement, Guzzo thanked those who supported him, especially his five children, through what he described as a “difficult period.”He says the complaint that led to his arrest took place in the context of a family dispute.Following his June arrest, Guzzo had said the matter was related to himself, “my wife and our lawyers.”This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 4, 2023. The Canadian Press

A deer broke into a New Jersey elementary school. Its escape was caught on police bodycams

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:41:47 GMT

TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey elementary school had an unexpected visitor over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend: A deer jumped through a small window and knocked over items in a classroom before fleeing the building.A man walking his dog around 10 p.m. on Nov. 25 saw the young deer smash through a window at Cedar Grove Elementary School in Toms River, which is about 60 miles east (96.5 kilometers) of Philadelphia. The man notified police, and their subsequent search of the school was recorded by the officers’ bodycams.When officers encountered the deer in a stairwell, the animal — who police have nicknamed “Rudolph” — initially charged at them as it ran down a hallway. It then entered a classroom by opening a door that happened to be unlatched and jumped onto a bookshelf, scattering some items — but it didn’t cause any major damage.The officers eventually used a dog snare to get the deer out of the classroom, and it soon fled the building the same way it got in.
