Customer Reviews of STAY ALERT Military Caffeine Energy Gum - SPEARMINT - 6 PACK (6 packs, 5 pcs per pack) - 100 mg caffeine per piece
Customer Review: Great study aid
Summary: 5 Stars
As a grad student putting in some long hours, this gum is a life saver. I wish I didn't have to use caffeine at all but usually I try to just drink tea cause it's more healthy. But when I really need a kick in the butt, this is definitely the ticket. The thing is, I have a really sensitive stomach and usually have a problem with coffee or tea. But not with this gum. I don't get the shakes or stomach pain. I just wake up. And I don't know why people think it's so bitter. Sure, it doesn't taste like candy. But that's the point. You shouldn't be chewing it for the taste. It's to keep you awake when you need to stay alert. And for that it works great.Customer Review: Puts your teeth on edge.
Summary: 4 Stars
This stuff works fast. Real fast. Seems to absorb into the mucous membranes of your mouth so the effect is instant. It is like injecting espresso into your veins. I chew one of these in the morning and I can skip the coffee. I keep a pack beside my bed just in case I don't want to get up in the morning. If I chew a piece of this I don't have a choice.
One drawback is the inevitable bitter taste. Caffeine is bitter and at 100mg of Caffeine a piece it is impossible to hide. Still though, who is chewing this for the flavor? A pack of this will keep you up all night and all the next day.
Customer Review: Bitter, works, could be improved with alternate version.
Summary: 3 Stars
Got a few packs for free at a trade convention. Seamless, it works. Doesn't seem to bring the stress of coffee or sodas.
Caffeine is not healthy, and is hard on a person's heart and body. But sometimes it's a regrettable necessity. This gum works. I would have given it 4 stars if it wasn't loaded with aspartame and sucralose, both unhealthy sweeteners.
As bitter as this gum tastes, and considering it seems to be targeted at fairly tough individuals, I would have rather they take out all the sweetness and just make it a bitter caffeine gum.
Customer Review: Stay Alert Mint Gum
Summary: 4 Stars
This gum has a purpose-stay awake. It is not enjoyable like regular gum, but it works. No jitters, just keeps ya going. Great for the long road trip when coffee is not available. Bitterness arrives within a couple minutes. At first it is not fun-but after a little time you get use to it. I find if you stop chewing it for awhile, by placing it between the cheek a gum, the bitterness goes away. You can then alternate between chewing and resting. I recommend using it as needed.Customer Review: Excellent Boost
Summary: 4 Stars
This stuff is great. It really gives a nice jolt of energy. I drink a lot of energy drinks and have tried a lot of energy gums and candies, so I am pretty immune to caffeine. I only had to chew one piece to get a nice clean wake up.
The taste on the other hand. Its a little strong and you will need something to drink afterward. I like the cinnamon taste alot better, but that might just be my tastes.
Either way, the rewards are worth it.
