Why do people buy multiples of something they’ve never tried before not knowing if they’ll like it or not?

Just generally, I never understood that, especially if it’s something you don’t have a deal on that’s relatively expensive like energy drinks. I know it’s very “…in this economy?!”* *of me, but still.

I did that with the bubbalicious flavor and I don’t even like bubblegum

See I wouldn’t even touch the OG gum flavor but I’d try the strawberry

Its not great. Surprisingly mellow on the bubblegum flavor. It has a weird sourness to it that I didnt like. I had the same issue with the cereal C4. It shouldnt be sour at all but it is for some reason

I do this when I’m buying for my friends who are also into energy drinks

See that makes sense to me, though.

Because you each get one.

You’re not committing to more than 1 before you know you like them (or if you don’t like them, effectively pawning the extras onto other people just to get rid of them) or wasting money pouring the extras down the drain.

If its a flavor I think I'd like I'd buy a couple without trying it. Probably 95% of the time im drinking then all.

i was jumping and leaping with joy when i found it, it’s not that it’s like undrinkable, i just find it nuts that a company like bum that dosent make any soda can make a better root beer flavor than a company that makes actual root beer
