![]() if you like bitter things, you can't go wrong. the taste isn't that unusual really, it's just cola with a certain added bitterness. it immediately became one of my favorite drinks ever. I recently tried some thums up, and i agree with the first comment. Fortunately, as I said the world is big and there's room in it for really bad Soda's and their fans. I could only imagine a worse Soda than Thums and so far I have not come across one half so bad. Why the anonymity if it's so great? While I agree that diet Soda's are indeed vile, Thums definitely puts the uck in suck. I must respectfully (or disrespectfully) disagree with this assessment- Thums Up gets two thums up from this consumer, and a 10 out of 10. And there are some sodas that are truly excellent- and only few, such as Thums Up- reach this mark. An excellent example would be Coca-Cola classic or Pepsi. A great example would be any number of diet sodas. Thank goodness the world is like 7-Eleven and there's " Freedom of Choice". It doesn't matter that they use real sugar in it if I cannot get past the lingering taste and aftertaste of this.product. Not to offend the good folks of the Sub-Continent in any way but this is just not my cuppa Soda and I don't care what the Bollywood endorsers contend, this Soda is just not good. Some sweet, some savory, some bitter, some sour and so on, but Thums Up is never, ever going to be on my list of likeable drinks. It puts the "uck" in suck, (apologies to all you Thums fans out there). Wikipedia says that it is " reminiscent of betel nut", I cannot say, tho as I have never to my knowledge tasted betel nut and my email to the folks at Coca-Cola India, requesting clarification has gone unanswered. I guess I would have to say it smelled of cardamom, fenugreek or sandalwood. I had to rummage around in my spice cabinet and I still couldn't find anything that smelled exactly like it. The aroma.well, the aroma is not at all what you would expect from a Soda. Well, when you open the nice, heavy glass bottle.you do need a church key.you are graced with a nice carbonation hiss. Contains Permitted Natural Colour & Added Flavours. I figured it was from the Coke Company so how bad could it be, right? I should have known I was in trouble when there were no ingredients listed on the bottle. It is.well.I guess it is an "acquired" taste and I will never manage to like this Soda. First off, let me state for the record that Thums Up is apparently hugely popular in India.good for them! Now, let me state, again for the record, that this drink will never catch on in the US. I am always willing to try something new and that's exactly what I did with Thums Up, a product of Coca-Cola India.
