These are great for the average high school or college student trying to keep awake at night or in class. I usually go to sleep at about midnight to 2am... and I get up at 6 in the morning. I take one or two when i'm feeling sleepy and these mints keep me awake.

These mints are pretty addicting though... I must say. I usually pop around 4 or more a day...

The case is pretty awesome too. I bought these at Target for $2.99 and they have this cool mirror inside the case. Speaking of the case, it has a smooth grippy feel to it... so that's pretty cool too.

Although there's about 60 mints in there, it's definately worth the price when you look at how cool the case looks and how great these mints are.

They do go fast if you're a mint addict.

These are very nice little mints with a kick. I think the price is pretty reasonable for what you're getting. Energy mints and a pretty little box with a mirror. (I guess you can check up on your make-up while going for one of these mints.) Each mints contain 25mg of guarana. [...]An average cup of coffee has about 40 mg of caffeine so, two of these mints should give you a nice perk. Guarana is very much like caffeine which is used in many soft drinks and energy drinks. If you are sensitive to caffeine, treat these mints as any other caffeine product.

These taste pretty good, kind of like a sweeter version of chewable kid's vitamins, I definitely taste the vitamin C. For a "mint" though, it dissolves too quickly and doesn't really have a lasting effect. It does produce a slight cooling on the palette, but as I said, the flavor doesn't stay around very long. Don't know how many you have to pop into your mouth to get the "energy" provided by the Guarana, but I've really never differentiated its effect from the other ingredients in the drinks I've had it in.

I guess this is some kind of trendy, fashionable product, because the nice soft-touch, matte black, beveled, thick, plastic snap case, with a metal pin-hinge, encloses about 65 mints (a few crushed), a thin cover sheet that explains that "Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is an exotic berry native to the Amazon with a natural caffeine content.", and what appears to be a real glass mirror set into the underside of the lid.

I tried bending the lid, and while the plastic flexed, the mirror didn't give at all, hence the thought that it's actually glass. It feels cool to the touch and appears optically flat from edge to tiny beveled edge. I guess this is so guys can carry around and use a the mirror (checking their teeth or hair?) without completely looking like a girl with a makeup kit.

As anything trendy, it's overpriced at $3.95 retail and even though it was at Target for a discounted $2.99, it still felt like too much to hand over, even with the nifty case. But the little black enclosure is the thing that caught my eye and piqued my interest. I didn't even know the mirror was there when I bought it, so I guess that's a bonus.

When I noticed the size, I thought it'd be a perfect case for a handful of Nintendo DS game carts, but alas, it barely holds two, not the four it looks like it should. That thick plastic again is the culprit, not to mention the mirrored lid, stealing away what would would be usable interior volume. Thinner items like SD or Memory Stick type memory cards will find the storage space much less cramped, though, so it can still have alternative uses after all the mints are gone.

These are quite tasty. About six of them = a Red bull as far as energy boost. The do wear off though after about an hour and there is a noticeable crash. I would get them again.

I can feel the energy. Tastes great. I really like this. It is strong-perfect pick me up for the 2pm lul, but not uncomfortably strong.

the box is really something - soft to the touch plastic with a recessed-hinge lid; bevelled edges on the box; mirror set into the lid (so you can watch yourself get buzzed?)

the candies themselves are tiny and very pleasant with a refreshing/cleansing taste and a smooth finish.

my only complaint is that the cost doesnt seem to match up with the amount of product - the candies are tiny and there's only 80 or so of them. It was well worth the experience to get just one but I dont think I'll repeat purchase just because of the cost.

These are the best tasting mints I've had so far. As long as you don't scarf down loads at once, they'll also last you a decent amount of time. :)

Even after they're gone, you get a nice looking box that has a number of possible uses.

Ok I got these at the store for kicks and giggles. They aren't that great tasting and barely have any caffine in them. They contain 2.2 mg of caffine per tablet. A red bull (8.3 oz) has approximately 80 mg of caffine. To get the same effect of a red bull from these mints you need to eat about 37 of them. The package I bought has 40 mints. So unless you want to suck down lots of these at once they aren't an energy option. Just get a coffee...
