5 GUM Alert Caffeine Mint Chewing Gum, 8 Count (Pack of 8)

Personally I have noticed the somewhat bitter, medicinal taste that is lurking under the artificial sweetener, the same one pointed out by many reviewers. However, I never found it to be overwhelming or all that unpleasant. Pure caffeine is extremely bitter, you usually don't notice because things containing it are extremely sweet, or the caffeine is diluted in a large volume of liquid. You don't have that luxury with something like chewing gum, so you're going to taste the caffeine a little--this stuff isn't the best tasting gum, but I never found it to be that unpleasant, either. I don't drink coffee and I've mostly cut soda out, so I've been using caffeine pills when I needed a boost and found them to be very harsh, and they also take a long time to take effect. The caffeine delivered through the gum seems to arrive quicker, and doesn't upset my stomach like the caffeine pills did. Based on its effectiveness and not entirely objectionable taste I can't not recommend the product...though I think you should buy an individual pack of it at a gas station before investing in a $20, 8-pack box of the stuff.

This is my second box. I really like this gum. I don’t drink coffee and I’m trying to avoid soda so I found this on my search for other energy sources. I’m nursing so other “energy” drinks aren’t an option. I like that this is the equivalent of a cup a coffee (which is allowed while nursing) it’s just enough to help me get going without any crash. I really like the mint flavor. I use to do caffeine mints and these have totally replaced those. Love the case I can get here on amazon. I originally discovered these at the grocery store. These will be going on subscribe and save for sure.

Love ALERT Mint Gum. It gives me just a little boost needed for some days. I don't drink coffee or sodas so the gum is perfect. I was worried about product being out of date but was pleasantly surprised that it is within expiration date.

This gum was available in my local grocery store. I came across it one day and thought to give it a try. I work a lot, six days a week - not always by choice - and have been feeling much more tired of late. I *am* able to have a couple cups of coffee throughout the day, but lately, that doesn't always seem to be enough. I found these, and although it says it only has the caffeine equivalent to half a cup of coffee, it does give me that extra "oomph" needed to complete my shift. The gum itself is mint (that I've come across anyway - if there are other flavors, I'm unaware of it) and it's not bad, just a somewhat mild flavor. I'd like the mint to be a little stronger, personally, but it's fine. One of the only things I don't like is the first taste. My guess is the caffeine itself is what COATS the shell of the gum, rather than actually being IN it. There's a slight bitter (and that may not be quite the right word, but for lack of a better term at the moment, I will say bitter) taste, but it soon wears off into just the mint. The other thing I don't like is the packaging. I do like being able to get to them easily, so I'm not really complaining, but they are somewhat "flimsy." Each part holds two separate pieces of gum, but they can break open easily. I had to search around in my pocket for a piece that had broken open accidentally. Maybe if they were each in their own package, it might be better? All in all, I like this product. It says caffeine gum and it does what it says. It helps to perk me up when I'm near the latter end of my shift and starting to feel my energy dragging. Would recommend...

As a self-proclaimed college student, I think this gum is a scientific revolution in itself. Sure, it may be a tad bit more pricey than regular gum, but just think. The price of two burritos and the speed and focus of a cheeta can be yours. This gum comes in some sleek packaging and honestly tastes like regular extra mint gum. (Plus, its lasts just as long). The pieces look large but they fit in my mouth just find and feel like a comfortable amount. Just two of them wakes me up fine in the morning if I forget to grab my cup of coffee on the way out the door to class. Plus, if you need a quick pick me up in the afternoon, BAM! There you go! In conclusion, these solved my caffeine addiction problem without breaking the whole bank. 10/10, Totally will buy again.

Why love you is if you eat this gum, as long as you’ve got a pack tissues on Neil, it doesn’t disturb anything in class. I have a tendency to fall asleep in class and this has helped me tremendously. The fact I can get a whole entire box of it and said having a five pack backpack in the grocery store and have them not always know where it is is a bonus.

These actually work. I have tried many methods of ingesting caffeine without success. I don’t drink coffee or tea (I know, I know) and the caffeine pills didn’t do anything and upset my stomach. I bought my first pack at a mini-mart. Fortunately Amazon has these available. This seller was the cheapest anywhere. By far. Believe me, I looked. Taste? Pretty good, actually. I stick to mint.

When I opened the shipping box I noticed that the actual package itself was open and messed up which I didn't like. After inspecting them, they seemed fine. The product itself work for me. It keeps me up for a good 5 to 6 hours but be careful, I am a commuter student and I have had the crashing effect hit me while driving back home from campus. My advice is to take with caution but it works to get you through that 5 o'clock feeling.
