BUM Sugar-Free Energy Drink, Blue Snow Cone 12 oz, Pack of 12

I am a HUGE Fan of BUM! A coworker introduced me to BUM energy drinks one fateful morning - I had to be at work early that morning for a meeting, forgot to set up my coffee the night before, and had to run out of the door…. Alone and afraid on only a few hours of sleep without my caffeine. I was not a fan of energy drinks at the time, but I was desperate. My first experience with BUM had me absolutely hooked! I had slept terribly the night before and was absolutely dragging when I walked in that morning… but after about half of the can, I noticed that I felt refreshed and rested, without the jitters. Maybe it’s the Cognizin doin its thing? I don’t know. Either way, I noticed that it had way less caffeine than the Celcius drinks I used to consume and gave me, what felt like, a more natural energy boost…. But the FLAVORS!? They are ON POINT. I have not been let down by a flavor yet! I frankly don’t know how they do it because the flavors taste exactly as you would hope! I also like the fact that it’s not loaded with vitamins. Certain vitamins, such as Vitamin C, tends to reduce the efficacy of some medications and supplements I take in the morning, so I like that I don’t need to be as cognizant to the timing of my supplements and caffeine. I have ordered over 30 cases to date and have tried most of the flavors… So I will review each: 1. Blue Snow Cone: My absolute favorite! This one is more on the sweeter side, bordering on candy-like.. or honestly, very much like a Blue Snow cone! If you prefer less sweet flavors, I would try a can first before getting a case. I like more of the sweeter/fruitier flavors so this one is my top favorite. 2. Pink Lemonade: Tastes exactly as described, like a sweet pink lemonade, without the harsh sugary afterbite of a standard pink lemonade. Pink Lemonade isn’t normally a go-to flavor for me, but this is one of my top BUM flavors. 3. Citrus Burst: Love this one. It reminds me a lot of a Sprite, but a more fruit flavor-forward Sprite. I was expecting to feel “meh” about this flavor, but it was really light, sweet, and very soda-like. 4. Cherry Frost: This one tastes like a cherry ICEE or a cherry snow cone to me! I like it a lot, I expected to like it more than the other flavors but it’s still a solid choice. 5. Grape: I love grape soda and it lived up to my expectations! Seriously easier than drinking a standard sugary grape soda but still sweet and grape-forward. 6. Cola: Yep… I actually like this better than a standard Coke Zero! A lot of brands get the Cola flavors wrong - they end up being too flat and almost syrupy. That was not the case here, it exceeded my expectations. 7. Dr. Bum: I’m a big fan of Dr. Pepper, and same as above… they really nailed this flavor! Tastes even better than a Dr. Pepper Zero to me! 8. Hard to Kill (Strawberry Lemonade): I like this one a lot as well. Tastes like what you would expect a strawberry lemonade to taste like. It’s not my top choice but still a solid choice! 9. Iced Tea Lemonade: Wow, this one is refreshing! I don’t typically go for iced tea or iced tea lemonade in general, as I prefer hot tea… so I was surprised by how much I liked this! It’s a really good “first thing in the morning” energy drink. My coworker, who is normally a fan of iced tea, ranks this as one of her top favorites. 10. Champion Mentality: I saw another reviewer compare this to a Fresca, and I think that’s an accurate comparison. Fresca is “meh” for me, and the BUM version is good. If I had to rank anything last, I would say that this would be last for me… BUT, still a good flavor and I would continue to buy it, I just prefer the sweeter, fruitier flavors better. And… I think that’s all I’ve tried so far! I really want to try the Orange Sunrise and I’m shocked that I haven’t! I think I will save Root Beer and Cream Soda for when I can find them in the individual cans because that’s generally not something I prefer on a regular day. In summary: I’m a big fan!

Very delicious. I will order them again. Just the right amount of energy. I appreciate the low carbohydrate content

Mirrors the nostalgic snow cones i had when I was a kid! Gives me just the right amount of caffeine without the jitters that some other brands give me.

One of the best flavors I’ve found not like other “blue” energy drinks taste like then bottom of a shave ice for real. Childhood flashbacks are a side effect

great taste
