Product Reviews of STAY ALERT Military Caffeine Energy Gum - CINNAMON - TRAY (24 packs 5pc) - 100mg Caffeine per piece
Product Review: Caffeine quick 100mg
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a product of your taxes at work. The Army spent a lot off money developing a method to keep our troops extra alert for extended periods of time while not injuring them. They discovered the quickest way to deliver caffene is to chew it not swallow and dijest though you can just swallow it . The product works fastest when chewed . This is stronger than JOLT(40mg) gum and faster working , having 100mg of caffeine per piece. One piece works for me about the same a three pieces of JOLT gum (a good product that tastes better). If you need caffeine this is a great and convenient delivery system. Keep in your auto/truck for when you get sleepy behind the wheel , this stuff really works . I am a big guy and it has never taken more than two pieces to fully wake me up . For when you didn't get enough sleep the night before the test. Not for kids under 18. If caffeine makes you jittery don't use this product.Product Review: Controlled, convenient intake
Summary: 5 Stars
Summary: It works
Details: To state the obvious and redundant, would be the inherent convenience of consuming caffeine on the go. I don't have to deal with a flask of coffee to lug around all day. Each ball of gum is exactly 100 mg of caffeine. To better calibrate this number, a cup of coffee is 135 milligrams and a red bull is 80 mg. The gum does not taste very good, neither does stale black coffee. Consider chewing the gum with trident splash, they taste pretty good together. Here are some reasons I switched from coffee to gum:
1. Cheap coffee can be acidic
2. You can avoid SUGAR and lactose.
3. I control the dosage, stick to exactly two balls of gum, one in the morning and one after lunch. Have a B complex vitamin with the gum, amplifies the effect.
Product Review: Don't Waste Your Money
Summary: 2 Stars
I read the other reviews, and thought this would be the perfect item to give me that much needed caffeine boost. I drive a semi-truck over the road, and wanted something that would substitute for coffee, since too many bathroom breaks slow me down. I will be going back to the coffee. Besides not working as advertised, they taste terrible.Product Review: Easily the most effective (if least pleasant-tasting) form of caffeine I've ever ingested.
Summary: 5 Stars
Most forms of caffeine made to keep me awake have suffered from one or more of the following problems:
Eventual post-caffeination (and/or sugar) crash
Hyper-activity
Stomach irritation
Jitters
Ineffectiveness
Stay Alert has become my preferred form of caffeine quite simply because it suffers from none of these. It doesn't give me a buzz or make me feel wired. It simply keeps me alert. After taking it, I don't feel sleepy. Instead I feel perfectly awake and nothing more, which is precisely what I want. Also, it works for hours on end, is highly portable, and is cheaper than most other forms of caffeine. The only downsides are it's artificially sweetened and begins to taste bitter rather quickly. It's not meant to be chewing gum, though. It's meant to keep you awake, and it does just that. Further, considering caffeine is bitter by nature, the flavor's a small price I'm willing to pay.
Product Review: Get paste the taste, enjoy the rest.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd see this product several times when at the Shopette, and being an Army nerd, and noticing the simple packaging, I figured I'd give it a shot.
So, on the drive to the mall I popped a piece in my mouth to test it out. I've never felt that alert in my life. Of course, you get the powerful burst of cinnamon, but as others state, you're left with the pure flavor of caffeine for some time. After that subsides, it's rather pleasant.
Pop in one piece, you're good. Pop in two, like the instructions state, and you'll most definitely feel the effects kick in that much quicker. I handed pieces to my buddies for them to try and they couldn't believe how quick it worked in comparison to the energy drinks they'd chug.
Most people mention the bitter taste, but after a while you get used to it. Besides, we Army people have eaten worse, right? ;) It does just what it should, and is supposedly only available to the military, but as it's listed here that's obviously not the case!
As long as you can deal with the flavor you're left with after the initial rush of cinnamon, you'll be good. This will help keep you focused on the road, in class, or at work in general when you're in need of that extra boost to keep from planting your face on the desk.
