MEG (Military Energy Gum) - Cinnamon | Enhance Your Physical Performance with 100mg of Caffeine Per Piece, Ultimate Energy Boost for Workouts, Alternative to Energy Drinks | Pack of 24

Taste good and energize yourself

This definitely wakes u up work nights and need the wake up works perfectly

I am a long time purchaser. Good product, good taste. Works as advertised.

There are 3 stages of flavor to this gum:1) Bitter and ambiguous -lasts for ~10 seconds-2) Stale cinnamon stick; like real cinnamon, not Big Red. This is a tough stage; pretty awful the first couple of times. -last for ~30 seconds~3) Pencil eraser; devoid of any real flavor, just chewing to get the last of that sweet, sweet caffeine.After the first pack the above gets easier to deal with; to the point it's kind of enjoyable. Just power through the first 5 pieces because you've got 115 more to go. The Arctic Mint is MUCH better tasting.It's a little different getting 100mg of caffeine at once vs. slowly. I bought these to save money I was spending on tea and low-cal energy drinks (I don't like coffee). Drinking caffeine allows you meter your intake and the stimulant comes on slowly. Both have their advantages, I suppose. At work I prefer the gum; I can chew a piece quickly before a 3pm meeting and be ready to go. But, you have to watch the intake. Without thinking I chewed two pieces inside a couple of hours and my chest hurt a bit. I chew non-caffeinated gum and habit took over. The packaging is great; tough 5 count bags that are pretty easy to open.

Good stuff

Taste really bad but the effect is well worth it

They changed the formula. It was the best gum I have ever had and I bought it for years. Now the pieces are smaller, it tastes really weird and it burns my tongue. Please bring the old one back.

I've purchased this before, in smaller quantities, the sample size, which I highly recommend the first time you try this. Having said that, I have elevated this to be a staple in my life now. I won't ever be without it.It's a cup of coffee in a stick of gum! Not the taste of coffee, but the caffeine effect.Here's why it's actually better than coffee: 1) It is absorbed through the mouth, so it hits your system faster 2) It's cheaper than Starbucks 3) It doubles as a breath freshener 3) Tested by the military, for the military. (Send you soldier or sailor some in a care-package!) 4) No need to tip the waitress, 5) Less messy when you put the leftovers it in your pocket (5 sticks to a package).Here's why it's worse than a cup of coffee: 1) You won't get to talk to that cute waitress 2) You won't get to gaze into the eyes of that girl you're meeting, 3) You don't get the enjoyment of stirring your cream and sugar and watching the color change 4) You can't discuss business ideas over a stick of gum 5) Its weird to ask a friend out for a piece of gum.I was so distressed when I couldn't find this online, I actually tracked down and emailed the company asking what the supply problem was. Turns out it was a packaging equipment failure...they couldn't wrap it up to sell. Of course I offered to come over and help fix the equipment right away, but they politely declined. What they did do, however, was to send me a couple of samples (along with some Big League Chew gum which they also make) to help me get through the shortage. They didn't have to do that, I was already a raving fan, but I'm even more so now.And, for the record, I purchased a tray of each flavor so that I won't run out again...I usually chew a stick every afternoon when that dip in energy starts around 2-3 pm. It really does shift my productivity and alertness back up, but without the crash later you get from sugary energy drinks. I originally got this to use working snow removal during snowstorms...when I often couldn't leave to get coffee, or there wasn't anyone open to get it. I probably gave out half of the first tray I bought to co-workers and friends. I always keep some with me.Please note that there is a bit of a strong taste sort of "in the middle" when you're chewing it after a minute...my guess is that is the caffeine kicking in. I don't mind it, but some more delicate paletes might. Get the smaller sample first and send it to me if you don't like it, I'll chew it! ;)If you're a prepper, then you certainly need this for your bug-out bag...when the adrenalin starts to fade, or if you need to push on to escape the apocalypse, this will help you do the job. If you want something to barter, this might work well too.And I will acknowledge there are other caffeine products on Amazon, but I'm not into taking a caffeine pill, and the other gums had less, some significantly less caffeine, which meant it would cost more and I'd have to chew more to get the same results. I found the best, I don't need to experiment.One caution: READ the label. Follow the recommended number of sticks in the time frame. I've never had any issues...but I can see someone getting sick from being foolish and chewing 400 pieces at once.Buy all you want, Ive already got mine!
