Stay Alert Mint Gum Jun 02, 2008
By G. Olson
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.

 Just what I needed Nov 19, 2009
By Ayush Sobti
"xbonez"
Received the gun two days back, and been loving. Initially I was a little hesitant to eat it because I was expecting its bitterness to hit my mouth as soon as I chewed it (thats the idea I got from some of the reviews) but honestly its not bitter AT ALL. In fact, my normal coffee tastes more bitter than this. Its a great alternative to coffee or energy drinks. I consume a lot of caffeine and used to drink a lot of Monster but now this works as a great substitute. I would have to say it is effective, partly because of the 100mg of caffeine, and partly because of the placebo effect.
Loving it and probably gonna be buying a lot more of it in the near future.

Puts your teeth on edge. Nov 07, 2009
By Michael J. Duda
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.

Tastes Nasty, But REALLY Does The Job! Feb 07, 2009
By Reb S.
"windygirl"
These work in minutes--which is fantastic (especially when I'm suddenly sleepy in the car or at a meeting) and they don't give me heartburn like coffee can (and, hooray, because it's gum & not liquid, it also keeps me from needing the bathroom a million times, like coffee, tea, or soda--which is AWESOME!). They travel well too. The only thing I don't like is the taste after about 2 minutes (they say to chew it for 5 minutes) and there are times I just can't chew it the whole time becuase the taste is just bitter and icky--HOWEVER, the gum works SO well for me that I have started associating the bitter taste with waking up/perking up, so I'm getting used to it. I will definitely buy it again--I'm really, really psyched to have found it.

Better than Cinnamon Aug 01, 2008
By Tommy Odgaard
A year ago i tried the Cinnamon gums, primarely used them on exercises with the military, and they did the job very well! although they didn't taste very good...
But these new Arcic mint gums really put up with that - this is the perfect caffein kick for whem you really need it (i dont normally drink coffee, don't know how good they work if you drink coffee daily, but they should contain as much caffein as 1 cup)
Buy it - you wont regret!
