Metallic taste is actually listed as a side effect of tums but is not supposed to be common. I get it all the time too
Tums is an antacid, basic.
the characteristics of bases: 1) bases have a bitter taste 2) turn red litmus paper blue 3) don't react with metals..The main characteristics of a base is that it changes the color of the indicators. It is a substance in aqueous solution, slippery to touch and tastes bitter.

Both Tums and Rolaids are effective antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Tums contains calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, while Rolaids contains calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide. The choice between the two may depend on personal preference and any specific dietary considerations.
Tums does not contain aluminum. Instead, it primarily contains calcium carbonate as its active ingredient, which is used to relieve heartburn and indigestion. Some antacids, like certain formulations of Maalox or Mylanta, may contain aluminum, but Tums is not one of them. Always check the ingredient label for specific formulations if you have concerns.
"tums" is pH 19 - it needs to be alkalinic. Also, mint is alkalinic and tums had a very definite taste of mint.
