Hey, these mints are great. I love the idea I can tote a tin of mints around with me instead of drinking coffee or coca cola. How convenient! And, my breath is better to boot....

I *love* the taste of Penguins! They're much better tasting than those 'curiously strong' mints. And the caffiene is a great delivery alternative to Coke or Pepsi, which I drink too much of already.

Going from class to class every day makes it difficult to stay caffinated. Without these mints I would have fallen asleep in many a class. If I graduate, it will have been in large part because of the help I got from these mints. I have to chew about 6 or 7 during a really boring class when I had only 4 hours of sleep. But usually I can get through a class with only 3. They don't give me headaches or make me crash. They just keep my eyes open and sometimes make me type a little faster.
Whenever the person sitting next to me starts zoning out, I usually slide the tin over and boy are they grateful.

Personally, I just about live on these. I generally have a couple in the morning before class, either of these or Warp Green Lemon Lime "mints", depending how much caffeine I think I need (the Warp ones are a little less caffeinated).

A hint to the uninitiated: one of the nice things about mints, etc. is that is you can keep them under your tongue: "sublingual infusion" is the term for this (absorbing the caffeine through the blood vessels on the bottom of your tongue), and I find it not only works better, but comes on slower (not a sudden jolt to your system, e.g. less jitters), and lasts longer. Your mileage may vary :)

Bottom line: get these mints. If you want to buy a smaller quantity, thinkgeek sells them individually.

These work! Need to pull an allnigter and don't like had enough coffee--these do it. Period.

Plain and simply these mints are ok because of the caffeine value when you need it. The taste is not the best though and I think it is because of the bitter quality of caffeine. The times I have taken these, they did prevent the caffeine withdrawal headache when coffee was not going to be available during the day.

Nice to find a reliable source for these mints. Hard to find in stores, but fast delivery here!

What a great idea! A friend received these as a gift, and I got to try one. I loved the idea and the taste, so I bought my own stash! They taste great and don't leave a bad aftertaste. One slight negative is that I wish they lasted longer. They are pretty small, so they dissolve pretty fast. Which also can lead to easily over-using them. As for the caffeine content, I haven't really noticed getting jittery, even after eating 5 or 6. But overall, I'm loving these and have enough to last me for a year now! haha

I have a very Fast paced job of taking call after call usually all day long. Meetings that can go on for hours. I contibute my job performance to these mints! I also bought the case of the smaller tins Mini Tin Size Penguin Caffeinated Peppermints: 12 count sleeve of .5 ounce tins And i keep those in the car for getting sleeping on the way home from work or for long drives. I tell everyone about these and even give out the small ones as trials to friends :)

These mints have 15mg of caffeine per mint and 75 mints per tin. You can easily get the right amount you need without having to gulp sour energy drinks. You are also very kissable after using them. The only thing that kinda sucks is when you are sucking on them and you get a bitter taste in your mouth because the caffeine wasn't processed well enough and you get bitter little bits in your mouth. However, if you chew them up, you aren't going to experience that. They are amount the smoothest mints you can buy.
