Customer Review: Gerat Caffeine Source
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm the type of person who uses caffeine as a drug to stay focused. My friend, who was former military, gave me a pack of these to try. Let me just say that the military money gets results! This was fact acting, small, and cheap. It works out to about $0.25 a cup of coffee- each gum has 100mg caffeine (5 pieces per packet, 24 packs per box). This destroys any other caffeinated products I've ever tried- it beats coffee for price and ease of use. It beats jolt gum cause it has 6x the amount of caffeine jolt does. It beats energy drinks because they are so expensive and loaded with TONS of sugar. These things are extremely portable- just carry in your pocket (they were meant for military!). Great for law enforcement to have in the war bag to stay awake in the field when you are stuck on a call or stakeout. A friend who is in vet school loves these cause they have to stay alert and study so much. To be honest, you don't buy stuff like this for taste. The first minute of these things you just taste the sugar and flavoring, but after that the bitter taste of the caffeine starts to be come apparent. The taste comes out slowly at first, and never completely overpowering, but anyone chewing this just to enjoy gum, and not as a tool to stay awake, would never chose this gum over any other gum in the world for flavor. That being said, the taste isn't terrible. I've had all 5 flavors. The Cinnamon is the worst, and unless you are a fan of big red or gum like that I would avoid it (I don't like Cinnamon flavor). IMO, the Spearmint flavor tastes the best at first (only slightly better than Arctic Mint), but then the caffeine is more noticeable with Spearmint in the end than with Arctic Mint flavor. Overall, if you are going for the best overall flavor experience I chose Arctic Mint. I cannot recommend these enough. Customer Review: Awful tasting, but does wake you up

Bought these awhile ago, and I'm happy I did. First time I chewed a piece, I was amazed on how awful it tasted. My best attempt at describing the taste is like rancid pepto bismol. Yes it kinda tastes like that, but it does work. I work retail so the first actual test for me was on Black Friday of last year. I was scheduled to start at 2:30AM, so I needed to be up and ready. But....thanksgiving had different plans, so in the end I ended up with about half an hour of sleep. Well with a few pieces I was able to work through a 12 hour shift with no issues. They may not taste great but they do work. Customer Review: Awesome and Cheap

The taste isn't that bad. It works, no doubt. And it's cheap compared to other means like energy drinks or lame patches. If only nicotine gum was this cheap.Customer Review: works

This stuff works, but it's a little too concentrated! Also, I started to hate the rush of coffee, so I pretty much stopped using caffeine... Don't order too much!Customer Review: Wish I didn't LIKE the taste and texture SO MUCH!!

This gum is just awesome when you get a little droopy. It gives you a nice boost, but doesn't last for hours so doesn't interfere with sleep that night. And you don't get the acid you would get from drinking a lot of coffee.
My problem is, I just LOVE biting down into it, getting the sweet juicy mint flavor and gum that is very "chewy". I can never have just one, so wind up popping in another, and probably one more. By them I'm so wired I need to find some good hard work to wear the caffeine off! That's not too hard, and I get a lot done.
I used to drink Red Bull, but almost never any more. So I have to say, this is much less expensive, and doesn't give that really long lasting strong kick Red Bull gives that can leave you a bit worn out the next day. So I figure this gum is healthier, too.
