The World Series is all set.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will play the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Rays have never won, the Dodgers haven’t won since 1988. Both cities have recently celebrated championships though, the Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup and the L.A. Lakers are NBA champs.

Game one of the World Series is tomorrow at 8.

Coca-Cola announced it’s discontinuing Tab cola 57 years. Tab debuted in 1963, but really hit its stride in the ’70s and ’80s.

It’s fallen off the radar a little bit since then and lots of other diet sodas have become way more popular, but it’s always been around.

Coca-Cola is getting rid of Tab by the end of the year, so if you’re still a fan, it’s time to hoard it if you see it.
