Bum Expands the Soda Series — Cream Soda Joins the Lineup
Bum just added a new entry to what is quickly becoming the most reliable “nostalgia-first” energy drink series on the market: Cream Soda.
If you’ve followed their drops over the last year, you know this isn’t random. Bum has built an identity inside the category by doing what almost no one else is doing — recreating real, legacy soda flavors with accuracy, not just throwing candy dust into a carbonated can.
Root Beer hit.
Cola hit.
Dr. Bum hit.
And now Cream Soda takes its place as the newest member of the soda set.
Why This Drop Matters
Most brands play in the same safe lanes: tropical mixes, slushie profiles, and ambiguous “punch” flavors that can hide misses. Soda flavors don’t allow that. Everyone knows what Cream Soda is supposed to taste like. If you’re off by 5%, the consumer feels it immediately.
Bum launching another soda profile is a tell — not a guess. It signals confidence that the first three not only sold but stuck. Soda isn’t just a novelty here; it’s becoming their lane.
Cream Soda Was the Logical Next Play
Cream soda hits the three pillars that have made this series work:
Nostalgia — people don’t just “like” cream soda; they remember cream soda
Familiarity — you don’t have to explain this flavor to anyone
Simplicity executed well — vanilla + caramel sweetness leaves no room to hide mistakes
In a category where most brands chase attention, Bum keeps chasing execution.
Bum is Building a Category, Not a Trend
When you zoom out, this drop isn’t just “new flavor week.” It’s part of a clear pattern:
Bum is quietly building the first complete soda energy line in the industry — and they haven’t missed yet.
That is what winning looks like in flavor development:
Not louder. Not weirder. Ruthlessly consistent.

Until then — Cream Soda officially enters the chat.
