- sergers 7y agoA funny thing, sometimes a shitmix has it's own unique taste. Ever try "thumbs up"? First time I tried it I was like gross, what did they mix all the flavors? But the distinct taste grew on you.
- jfk13 7y agoAssuming you mean the Indian soft drink, IIRC it's actually "Thums Up" (no "b").
- nkoren 7y agoThat's correct, and the "weird taste" relative to other sodas was (is? Been a while since I've been to India, and I noticed it was losing market share badly last time I was there...) cardamom. Cardamom is put to good use throughout Indian cuisine (chai, sag dishes, etc.), making Thums Up really much more complementary than traditional western sodas.

- MivLives 7y agoThere was a way to use a coke soda fountain to make something that tasted shockingly like Baja Blast. It involved Sprit and Blue Poweraid from what I remember. There may have been one more ingredient.
- anthony_romeo 7y ago> Pirko told host Noah Adams that OK tastes “a little bit like going to a fountain and mixing a little bit of Coke with a little root beer and Dr. Pepper and maybe throwing in some orange.” This is consistent with my memory of the taste. I think I only had one or two cans in my life. The taste was adequate, but not truly compelling.
