Interesting Judge decision on 5pm Dawson Feud

(1/4) > >>

adamjk:
During the Fast Money round, one of the questions was: Name a good drink for dieters. The second person, said Diet Pepsi. It didn't gain any points. The #1 answer was Diet soda. Now correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Diet Pepsi and Diet Soda more or less the same thing? It didn't matter however, as the family won the money anyway, it just surprised me.

 What did the first person say?

Usually, they would take that, give them the credit for "diet soda", and specify that they were doing so. Maybe they felt that Pepsi was too small of a subset of "soda".

adamjk:
The first person said tab. Have no idea what that is though.

JayC:
Tab is an old soda from the 70s

Anyway, shouldn't they have asked that person to give a more judgeable answer?  But, I guess they should have counted all diet brand names as diet soda...

How do you do that in 20 seconds?

Did they match Tab and diet soda? Tab and Diet Pepsi both match "diet soda" so the second player should have been buzzed.
