Bum Cola verdict.... To ME it tasted like a crappy RC cola or store branded cola product... Passable but nothing I would get super jazzed about having again...

Good info. 👍 Won't be trying that one. Sounds too sweet is what I get out of it. Interested in your take on the root beer. Still trying to locate a creme soda.
 
Bum Root Beer verdict... Much more enjoyable drinking experience... Kinda A&W ish style but I found it had a vanilla like finish to it... Could definitely be my pallet.... I would recommend this to anyone who craves a Root Beer flavored drink... I will buy again ⭐for a job well done

Trying this on my drive today... I'm not a huge fan of Dr Pepper but I consume a 12 pack a year.. will see how many brush strokes Bob gives it... Stay tuned...
 
Bum Dr Bum verdict hot off the press... Bob gives it 6 brush strokes out of 10... A mild Dr Pepper inspired drink.. which if you're not a fan of the aggressive nature of Dr Pepper but enjoy the taste this will fit the bill. I found a chemical first little pop on the sips that continued through the can.. could be me ... Overall it's solid....
 
I love energy drinks but trying to go a couple weeks without them, just sticking to morning PWO and then cutting off caffeine for the rest of the day, and see how it effects my blood pressure.

Generally I wake up with really stellar BP and resting HR readings, and they tend to be pretty okay at night too, but when I test in the mid-afternoon they're always a little high for my liking, especially with how much cardio I blast every week. Skipped energy drinks yesterday and just did my morning PWO and my evening BP and resting HR were both better (spent the whole day at work so couldn't do a mid-afternoon test). Also at work today but doing the same, and tomorrow I'll have a chance to get an afternoon reading with no caffeine after morning PWO, super curious to see what happens.

It's actually gonna suck in a way if the afternoon readings are really good because damn do I love a post-lunch Celsius or Alani. Probably for the better overall though if they're more of an occasional treat than an everyday thing.

For me it's the sugar and other unpronounceable words I tend to try and stay away from. The caffeine I get everyday is probably more than I should get but it's not just stupid amounts of it. I'm sure my BP would be better without it but I'm ok in that regard. I wonder sometimes if it's not just a psychological thing to some extent as far as using them for a pick me up. I can live without them that's not a problem but there's a few I really like that aren't gonna make me stroke out so, 🤷. I'll get on a kick like the last couple of months then I'll quit them altogether for a while.
 
Oh for sure,

Oh for sure, and in the grand scheme of things there are much worse things to put in your body, trust me I know lol. Just trying to optimize everything and even though I know it's the added caffeine causing the rise in blood pressure, I wanna be able to get "cleaner" readings for a while and see what's actually going on beneath the noise.
 
I struck BUM gold at a neighborhood market this morning. They didn't have the Dr Bum but they had three I haven't seen in stores yet. And of course I had to get another root beer.

boys, Vitamin Shoppe BUM AND Gorilla Mind's on their $1 sale! Stock up!

Also @Cypher I swear you always have the latest releases immediately, I aspire to get to your level! haha! I also love that pina colada bum. Mother in law had one the other day and ordered a damn case off of amazon!!
 
Well, I tried the BUM creme soda. Not a lot of flavor, to me, bordering on bland. It has a decent flavor just not much of it. Probably won't get anymore. That's just me. Taste is subjective. Somebody else might love it.
 
I do t care for ghost or bum. I much prefer Bucked Up or C4. The others are too sweet for my taste. But to each his own.
 
GNC bogo did gorilla mind citrus rain and vanilla black cherry. Citrus rain wasn’t bad gonna try the other today. Solid deal tho

Citrus Rain is one of my favorites for GM.
