It’s “Tab Energy, a new energy drink aimed at women.” Here is a review of a Tab Energy commercial by Dr. Violet Socks at Reclusive Leftist:
…“Speaking of cultural messages: the most astonishing thing in the entire Oscar telecast wasn’t actually part of the show at all, but a commercial for some godawful drink from Tab. The tagline:”Women need a special kind of energy.”And why do women need special energy? Well, because women have three very special jobs, each illustrated in the commercial:
1. Commuting in 3-inch stiletto heels (image of woman tottering in said heels and short skirt)
2. Accessorizing (image of barely-clad woman at a poolside checking out a guy)
3. Defying gravity (close-up image of woman’s boobs in a strapless gown)
“That’s right: those are the special jobs of women. Tits, ass, and high-heeled shoes. Can anybody – anybody – watch that commercial and not see that women are the sex class? And that there are about a billion images a day being beamed into our daughters’ minds to reinforce that noxious notion? Anybody? Anybody at all?” …
Also, according to this site, “it tastes a little nasty.”
