Munch or Dump rates Thums Up 750ml by Coca Cola Company DUMP — score 17/90.

Taste the thunder: carbonated sugar water where phosphoric acid and caffeine do all the shouting. A 750ml bottle carries roughly 20 teaspoons of sugar. Strong marketing, zero nutrition.

Why this verdict

Roughly 80g of sugar in a 750ml bottle — about 20 teaspoons
Phosphoric acid (338) erodes tooth enamel and is the cola ingredient tied to bone-density concerns with heavy intake
Caramel colour 150d — ammonia-sulphite process caramel, the class flagged for its 4-MEI byproduct
'Artificial & nature-identical cola flavouring' plus added caffeine — the famous 'strong' kick is engineered stimulation
No protein, no fiber, no nutrients — calories and acid, nothing else

Ingredients (6)

Carbonated Water (safe) — Basic component of most beverages, provides fizziness.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Acidity Regulator (338) (moderate) — Phosphoric acid for tang; high cola intake is linked to lower bone mineral density.
Caffeine (moderate) — Mild stimulant, 43mg per serving. Fine in moderation but makes the drink mildly habit-forming.
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.
