5.0 out of 5 stars Easily the most effective (if least pleasant-tasting) form of caffeine I've ever ingested., June 8, 2007

This review is from: STAY ALERT Military Caffeine Energy Gum - CINNAMON - SIX PACK (6 packs 5pc/pk) - 100 mg Caffeine per piece (Health and Beauty)

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.

This review is from: STAY ALERT Military Caffeine Energy Gum - CINNAMON - SIX PACK (6 packs 5pc/pk) - 100 mg Caffeine per piece (Health and Beauty)

I used this during a long highway trip. You know how it gets--you feel very drowsy and you start to nod out at the steering wheel without realizing it. That's when you are a dangerous driver, especially when there are no rest areas in sight and you're tempted to drive longer than you should. That happened to me on that trip, and I popped a single piece of gum in my mouth. After only a few chews, I was wide awake, as if I had pulled over and taken a nap. I could hardly believe it; it was miraculous. I no longer felt the least bit drowsy. That effect stayed with me for about two hours. By then, I had found a rest area and taken a nap.

This gum should not be used as a sleep substitute, IMHO, but it can serve very well in situations when you cannot take a nap and you must continue to function. Its cinnamon taste isn't the best, but it is tolerable and you can get used to it. It works well even for a major coffee drinker (who is used to caffeine) like myself.

I really like the Stay Alert gum. I tried the Penguin Energy gum, but this is much better. The first time I used it, I had to get used to the somewhat different taste, but I love the warmth of the cinnamon in my mouth. I keep it in my car, at work, and around the house. It is a bit more pricey than some of the other gums, but worth the cost. I plan to keep this gum on hand.
