Product Reviews of STAY ALERT Military Caffeine Energy Gum - CINNAMON - TRAY (24 packs 5pc) - 100mg Caffeine per piece
Product Review: Terrible taste, good caffeine count but no other energy boost
Summary: 2 Stars
The good:
1) I like the packaging
2) Cinnamon flavor
3) Huge caffeine count compared to competitors
The bad:
1) Flavor is disgusting after 3 minutes of chewing -- bitter caffeine taste
2) Much more expensive than competitors
3) No taurine, ginseng, or anything else usually in the "energy blend" of drinks or competitor gums
Product Review: Terrific product, odd pricing
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product and most highly recommend it! The sweet coating and cinnamon flavoring covers the bitter caffeine taste reasonably well, though not nearly as completely as the Arctic Mint version of this product.
The screwy thing is the pricing: The 24-pack costs $2.00 more than buying four 6-packs ($28 vs. $26), so it's clear they've adjusted their pricing to make money on the "shipping costs." I have Amazon Prime, but instead of "free shipping" it's really "$2.00 shipping." (If shipping was really free, the 24-pack product price would be LESS than $26 because the manufacturer's cost for the tray must be less than their cost for four 6-packs.)
Aside from the shipping cost, it's a great product!
Product Review: This stuff works
Summary: 5 Stars
They issued us Stay Alert gum when I was serving in Iraq in 2005 and it quickly became a favorite of my whole unit. My current job requires long hours so when I saw it available here I couldn't get my hands on it quick enough. Fair warning though the "do not take more then" is no joke.Product Review: True Military Strength Caffeine Gum
Summary: 5 Stars
Works much more effectively than "civilian" caffeine gums like Jolt.
Personally, the taste is acceptable but others who have sampled some have complained of it.
Honestly though, if you are buying caffeinated gum the idea is to stay more alert.
Chewing regular gum afterwards helps if the taste is extremely bothersome.
Product Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I brought some of this with me on a long car trip this summer. From experience I know that when my head starts nodding, I have but a few minutes to pull over and take a catnap, or become a danger to myself and others. Trouble is, there isn't usually a place to pull over right away--the nearest rest area is often a half hour or so away (and on some state highways there are none at all). Not a problem with Stay Alert! This time I popped one piece, started chewing, and literally within a few seconds my head stopped nodding and I felt exactly as though I had taken a nap. I was wide awake. The effect stayed with me for 2-3 hours, and by then I was able to find a rest area and take a nap.
I used it sparingly, only when I had no choice; I took naps whenever I could, and Stay Alert saved my behind several times on this trip. This stuff really works. And Amazon has it for the lowest price I've seen online.
It has a cinnamon flavor which is acceptable, but not the best. But then again, you don't chew this for the flavor. When you're tired but you need to keep going, you don't care about flavor; all you care about is staying awake. This stuff will get you over the hump.
