MEGMilitary Energy Gum | 100mg of Caffeine Per Piece + Increase Energy + Boost Physical Performance + Arctic Mint 24 Pack (120 Count)

Gum quality:this gum works great, caffeine in sodas makes me queasy and jittery, this has all of the positive effects with none of the negative. I love it very much!

It’s such an amazing experience , something you feel it more than what you can talk about itI love it

At 51 years old. I have suffered for years with Sleep Apnea and "Excessive Daytime Sleepiness" I know it sounds like I made that up. When I was diagnosed with Excessive Daytime Sleepiness I told the doctor he made it up. Google it.I take medication to counteract the Excessive Daytime Sleepiness but sometimes it just does not work. I will fall asleep in meetings or even while talking to someone in my office or on the phone. This gum has changed my life. When I notice the first signs of sleepiness I chew one piece and within a few minutes I am wide awake.I saw a report on 60 minutes, I told you I was old, about how 5 Hour Energy says it has the caffeine of one cup of premium coffee. Well it does, along with the caffeine of other cups of coffee. And all the other stuff 5 Hour Energy has in it that it says help you stay awake do not do much at all. It is all the caffeine. Here is the link to the story.[...]The story says that all the energy in 5 Hour Energy comes from the caffeine. Vitamins and supplements do not give you energy. Well I felt like an idiot, I have been buying 5 hour energy from Amazon for a while and I must admit, even with the discount from buying in large volume the cost was still high, and it was not a perfect solution. I would sometimes have to take more than one in a 5 hour period.Well after seeing the 60 minutes story I used Google and found several studies performed for the Military that stated that the absorption of caffeine via the mouth is much faster than through the stomach or intestines. Makes sense to me, that is why cocaine users snort or dip the stuff instead of eating it. Anyway, long story short, I bought this product and it has saved my job and my life. Now if i feel tired I just pop one in my mouth and within minutes I am wide awake. The packaging is not going to win any awards for marketing but it does as advertised. I see a lot of competing products available in stores, Jolt! for instance, but I never even tried it. This one works and it is used by the military. Check out [...] and you will see links to all the studies, the story about how long it took to develop, and the order instructions for quartermasters.I was intrigued enough to try it from the web site but after using it I can tell you this stuff is the real deal. The other big plus is the cost. 5 pieces per pack, 24 packs per box, $28 per box = just under a quarter ($0.25) per piece. That is a lot easier on the pocket than $2.00 per bottle for 5 hour energy. I can carry a packet in my pocket, keep a pack at my desk, one in my lunch box, one in my car, where ever I might need a piece. Much more convenient than when I was using 5 hour energy.Finally, I have only tried the Arctic Mint flavor and it is not too bad. I do not notice the bad caffeine taste so many other reviewers are talking about but that is just me. In the end, regardless of the taste, it works when I need it to and it is easy to carry. By this point, if you are not convinced then you never will be.'Nuff said!**UPDATE** Amazon will not allow me to enter the links to the CBS 60 Minutes story on 5-Hour Energy or the link to the official Stay Alert Gum web site but just Google "60 Minutes 5 hour energy" and/or "Stay Awake Gum" and in each case the web sites one of the top links. **UPDATE****UPDATE 2** **September 26, 2013**Well it has been two years and I am still using this stuff. The name was changed recently to "Military Energy Gum" but it is still the same product. I have tired all three flavors and rank them in this order.Best Flavor - SpearmintSecond Best - Artic MintWorst (by an long shot) - CinnamonOf course those are just my opinion, the two mint flavors have the least bitterness, the Cinnamon has the most intense bitter taste to me but you may be different.

Tastes good at first after 5 minutes it’s more bitter and the packages don’t always have 5 pieces of gum but if you are just getting it for the caffeine it is perfect for the job. It has the same texture as normal gum. I personally think it is worth the money.

Great gum will get u moving

We literally live on this gum, can’t live without the extra caffeine boost. 100 mg ea piece.

The new package designs appears to me to have more changes than just the package. There is to me a new undesirable first taste of cinnamon even though it is artic flavor. Also found that the gum loses its flavor in this new package much much quickly than the previous package. Finally, it appears to dissolve much more quickly. As a customer for over ten years, i am deeply disappointed in the change.

I've ordered this gum over 70 times in the past 10 years and can't imagine life without it, driving trucks and heavy equipment I can confidently say this gum has saved my life when it comes to fatigue and alertness! That being said the past couple months I've gotten the so-called new and improved formula in the darker blue packaging and I don't enjoy it. The old formula was definitely an acquired taste but I feel the new product is a lower quality. I'll change to five stars if we can get the old product back!!
