 good stuff April 24, 2008

This stuff is great. I now do not drink pop or energy drinks. I only drink water and juice. The gum delivers as promised. It deffinetly picks you up. I just wish it came in more flavors.
Easily the most effective (if least pleasant-tasting) form of caffeine I've ever ingested. April 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Most forms of caffeine made to keep me awake have suffered from one or more of the following problems:
Eventual post-caffeination (and/or sugar) crash
Hyper-activity
Stomach irritation
Jitters
Ineffectiveness
Stay Alert has become my preferred form of caffeine quite simply because it suffers from none of these. It doesn't give me a buzz or make me feel wired. It simply keeps me alert. After taking it, I don't feel sleepy. Instead I feel perfectly awake and nothing more, which is precisely what I want. Also, it works for hours on end, is highly portable, and is cheaper than most other forms of caffeine. The only downsides are it's artificially sweetened and begins to taste bitter rather quickly. It's not meant to be chewing gum, though. It's meant to keep you awake, and it does just that. Further, considering caffeine is bitter by nature, the flavor's a small price I'm willing to pay.
 Get paste the taste, enjoy the rest. April 1, 2008

I'd see this product several times when at the Shopette, and being an Army nerd, and noticing the simple packaging, I figured I'd give it a shot.
So, on the drive to the mall I popped a piece in my mouth to test it out. I've never felt that alert in my life. Of course, you get the powerful burst of cinnamon, but as others state, you're left with the pure flavor of caffeine for some time. After that subsides, it's rather pleasant.
Pop in one piece, you're good. Pop in two, like the instructions state, and you'll most definitely feel the effects kick in that much quicker. I handed pieces to my buddies for them to try and they couldn't believe how quick it worked in comparison to the energy drinks they'd chug.
Most people mention the bitter taste, but after a while you get used to it. Besides, we Army people have eaten worse, right? ;) It does just what it should, and is supposedly only available to the military, but as it's listed here that's obviously not the case!
As long as you can deal with the flavor you're left with after the initial rush of cinnamon, you'll be good. This will help keep you focused on the road, in class, or at work in general when you're in need of that extra boost to keep from planting your face on the desk.
 Worst tasting gum ever... February 19, 2008

STAY ALERT Military Caffeine Energy Gum - Six Pack (6 packs, 5 pieces per pack) Cinnamon Flavor - 100 mg Caffeine per piece
This has to be by far one of the WORST tasting caffeine gums out there. I have been chewing caffeine gums, taking caffeine mints, drinking caffeinated water for years now. Mad Croc is also pretty bad, the sick bitter taste this gum has, is alot like chewing a no doze tablet. Its just crap and I cannot believe people reviewed it and said it tasted good. Its just awful, seriously.. Jolt is alot better, Mad Croc is equally awful tasting though.. If your looking for a flavor, look elsewhere, this just taste like chewing an aspirin... TERRIBLE...
Works, but be cautious! February 6, 2008

This gum has 100mg of caffeine in it, which is approximately equivalent to one cup of brewed coffee. However, it works MUCH faster.
Being a college student, I'm often up very late (either for studying or for more fun activities) and have to get up very early, so this has been a lifesaver when I'm about to fall asleep during a test or important lecture.
Be sure, though, that you follow the directions EXACTLY. You're to chew ONE piece for FIVE MINUTES. The first time I used it I'd already had a few cups of coffee in the morning and I popped two pieces in my mouth. Unfortunately, I started shaking and my hands were twitching for more than an hour. It wasn't scary (actually, a rather amusing experience) but if you need to be at work or driving, BE CAREFUL.
