Well, there was "Tab," which was kinda sorta diet coke, since it was 
made by the Coke people and was a low-cal cola. That came out, per the 
wikipedia, in 1963. And there was also "Diet Rite Cola" which came out 
in 1958.

They both tasted so unbelievably foul, but were pretty successful. 
"The legend that TaB stands for Totally Artificial Beverage is 
unfounded and inaccurate."
