This is one of the Coca-Cola owned companies that runs out of India, apparently it does pretty well over there but maybe their cola flavour just doesn’t translate. First up the bottle is great and the logo is even better, some big soda companies (Pepsi) could learn a thing or two from the graphic designers at Thums Up. Also, one law that I live by is “everything tastes better out of a glass bottle” so going by aesthetics alone I had high hopes for this one. Too bad it couldn’t hold up it’s end of the bargain.
The smell of this is like a mix between cola nut and human excrement, maybe the excrement of someone who eats a lot of cola nuts. From the look of it, I thought this soda might have had little to no carbonation, I also suspected it may have been sitting on the shelf for months. Turns out this soda is over-carbonated, hundreds of gassy little bubbles that made me burp a lot, hurt my tongue and made me feel sick.
The taste was really unpleasant, a cola nut cola (like Phoenix) gone wrong. It tastes horribly artificial, as bad as diet soda and leaves a shitty taste in the back of your throat. The aftertaste sticks around for a long time, a fermenting artificial sweetener taste and hints of the human excrement flavour are back.
Thums down (sorry had to do it).

lamao ... maybe you should stick to the locally made human excrement drinks like coke etc.
ReplyDeleteI think you are an ediot making such comments. All Colas are an acquired taste and that is a known fact. l did taste it when I visited India and actually admired the zingy taste. Looks like you know how human excreta tastes and you perhaps enjoy it.
