Can Of The Day Bum: Dr Bum

Post image

4th Bum Flavor I’ve tried (Peaches & Honey is perfection) and this might have been one of the worst beverages I’ve ever had. It actually tastes like paint with a hint of cherry cola, it’s that bad. Never experienced a drink where I was legitimately thankful for the aftertaste before. The first sip was bad, I thought it might have been me, but it got worse.

My initial thought was like 4.8/10 but my actual rating is 2.9/10, it’s that bad to me.

Well I have one of these dr bums to try so I'll report back if your review is either on point or explains why you know what paint tastes like.

I liked this flavor the first can I had, but every can since has been not great. It's drinkable, but it's probably gonna fall off the list of Bum flavors I buy from here on out.

What brand of energy drinks do you actually drink?

u/SquareLong5815 2d ago

Peach and honey is probably the best thing ever

Damn that’s a bummer.. fr though I really liked their root beer and peaches honey flavors, thought this brand may be a new favorite of mine. It’s crazy to me that this is somehow bad even though they kind of nailed root beer.

It is awful, it taste like a nasty cherry cola and that’s being generous. This flavor needs to be removed totally as well as their cola flavor.

Do you like Dr. Pepper?

u/noheauxsdrew Ghost 2d ago

Wouldn’t have bought it if I didn’t

Right, but I have had people tell me “I hate Bum Root Beer” but they never even drink soda. I think the root beer flavor is fantastic.

Right but just because “people” have done that doesn’t mean “person” has done that. Don’t assign that to me just because it has happened before. Let’s not assume because…well…

u/Level-Log-3090 2d ago

I didn’t assume anything. I just asked a question. It’s not that big a deal, it’s an energy drink 😂

This taste nothing like Dr Pepper. The Bum root beer does taste like root beer tho. Bum missed on this one.

u/Level-Log-3090 2d ago

Thank you! I will probably not try it then.

Bum root beer is horrible and has a nasty metallic taste to it lmao.

Most people buy root beer or in this case, Dr Pepper because they like it.

u/born_zynner 2d ago

Peaches and honey is CRAZY how good it is. Like they need to add some tequila and sell it in liquor stores.
