Thums Up 750ml — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Thums Up 750ml by Coca Cola Company DUMP — score 20/90.

A sugar-loaded caramel cola with caffeine and artificial flavouring - liquid sugar with nothing your body needs.

Why this verdict

• About 75g of added sugar in the bottle - a full day's worth in one drink
• Artificial cola flavouring substances on the label
• Caramel colour (150d) and acidity regulator - purely cosmetic additives
• Caffeine added for the kick, not nutrition
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with no protein, fibre, or nutrients

Ingredients (6)

• Carbonated Water (safe) — Just water with CO2; harmless base.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
• Acidity Regulator (338) (moderate) — Phosphoric acid for tang; high cola intake is linked to lower bone mineral density.
• Caffeine (moderate) — Stimulant added for the cola kick; fine in moderation but a dependency driver.
• Colour (150d) - Caramel (moderate) — Caramel colour purely for appearance; some classes carry 4-MEI concerns.
• Artificial & nature-identical cola flavouring (moderate) — Lab-made flavour substances engineered to make sugar water taste like cola.
