Product Reviews of STAY ALERT Military Caffeine Energy Gum - CINNAMON - TRAY (24 packs 5pc) - 100mg Caffeine per piece
Product Review: Pretty Good
Summary: 5 Stars
I can honestly say that the gum did give me energy but they need to work a little on the taste. It does taste like cinnamon but a lil more juicy taste would make it better. Buy it if you r looking for a pick up cause it works.Product Review: Stay Alert Gum review
Summary: 4 Stars
I have found the Stay Alert gum a godsend both at work and driving on expressways. I use it judiciously because I have minor heart problems that could be worsened by caffeine. Its' main advantage is that if you are feeling drowsy, you can chew a piece or 2 (Each piece has 100 mg of caffeine and is absorbed through the lining of your mouth) and it will begin working almost immediately to bring you back to full alertness. I will take a piece before or during a long expressway drive, a long meeting at work or occasionally when working at the computer.
I was concerned about the taste, since that was rated "poor" in the articles I read. While I wouldn't choose this for a recreational chewing gum, the taste was certainly tolerable and I didn't spit it out after 5 minutes as suggested by the military (when most of the caffeine has been absorbed through the lining of your mouth). Chewing a piece of regular cinnamon gum at the same time would almost totally mask any off flavor, but I have not found it necessary to do this.
If you are having recurrent problems with drowsiness at meetings, while keyboarding or while driving, this alternative is more convenient than coffee, works faster than caffeine tablets and causes no gastrointestinal distress. I highly recommend it, although I would also recommend having a sleep study and being checked for sleep apnea if you are having those symptoms. This ailment is more common than many realize and will eventually affect your heart function, as it did mine.

Product Review: Taste terrible, but works
Summary: 3 Stars
This is definitely not your cinnamon bubble gum. This stuff taste terrible after the 5 minutes of recommended chewing (pretty decent up until the end of the 5 minutes). The major upside is that you can take it anywhere and it works pretty good. I am not allowed coffee (or any other drink) in my classes and I need something to stay awake. This, jolt gum, jolt mints, coffee, and tea contribute to staying awake for class. Personally, I would go for the jolt gum, and I will the next time I buy more gum. It tastes a lot better and you only need 2 pieces to get the same caffeine content, so it comes out to be about the same price...Product Review: Tastes horrible but works
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these for a 5 day trip from Alaska to Virginia last summer. The gum works in that it WILL keep you awake. The only downside is that it takes rather horrible. With that said, if I had to do another trip with 16+ hours of driving everyday I would buy this gum again.Product Review: Tastes like bitter defeat
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, it tastes like bitter defeat. The Cinnamon seems to do the best job of masking the caffiene flavor (I reccommend you avoid the others), after a while you get used to the taste but the first time you try this gum you should have a soda nearby to get the taste out of your mouth.
There are other products that taste better, but none work as well as Stay Alert.
My job keeps me up late at night on a regular basis (sometimes I'll be awake for 36+ hours in a week were I get 5 hours of sleep a night), and this gum has taken a place of honor next to the desk.
