Tums

Sign in to edit

Tums was a medicine, a popular brand of antacid used in the 20th and 21st century.

History and specifics[]

In March 1993, United States Air Force Lieutenant Shaun Christopher entered Walter Nichols's office at Plasticorp without warning and asked the doctor to come with him. Nichols assumed that the reason had to do with how he got the formula for transparent aluminum from Professor Montgomery Scott in 1986, and grabbed a bottle of Tums to settle his stomach. (TOS - The Eugenics Wars novel: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 2)

In 1999, a time traveling Spock began to recite some of the ingredients in Tums, naming magnesium carbonate, simethicone, sobitol alginate, and sodium alginate, before Q interrupted him. (ST audiobook: Spock vs. Q: The Sequel)

In 2024, after reading a mysterious note offering to reveal what happened to Gillian Taylor in 1986, podcaster Dennis Berry chewed several Tums, wary that the note had been left in their apartment by an intruder. However, his partner Melinda Silver was eager to learn more about the missing Taylor. Later, he opened a new roll of Tums when they met a former United States Navy officer at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, and ate two more before they confronted Orlando Wilder at his home. (TOS novel: Lost to Eternity)
