In 1963, the Coca-Cola Company joined the diet soda market with Tab, which proved to be a huge success. Coca-Cola countered by releasing Diet Coke in 1982. After the release of Diet Coke, Tab took a backseat on the Coca-Cola production lines, because Diet Coke could be more easily identified by consumers as associated with Coca-Cola than Tab. By the early 1990s, a wide variety of different companies had their own diet sodas on supermarket shelves.
By 2002, some soda companies had diversified to include such flavors as vanilla and lemon among their products, and diet sodas were soon being produced with those flavors as well. For example: Diet Vanilla Coke, and Diet Pepsi Vanilla.
