Java Gum - Caffeinated Energy Gum (Peppermint Case Pack (96 Pieces))

I recommend these to everyone who needs caffeine, but cannot get to a cup of coffee!I'm a substitute teacher. That means I don't know what my daily schedule will be from day to day. And, I can NOT leave the classroom to get a cup of coffee whenever I'm sleepy. I can't even load up on coffee before work, or take one with me, 'cuz I'm never sure if my next bathroom break might be 4 or 5 hours away.I shudder to think ...It's a warm afternoon in the classroom; the kids are all quietly behaving, taking their test. My head is starting to nod.I will NOT be another sub who has fallen asleep at the teacher's desk, while the kids all whip out their cel phones and take selfies. (Yes, it's happened before, and that sub can no longer work in this district!)Because the caffeine is in the GUM, it starts to absorb in the mouth, while you're chewing. I feel an uptick in my awake level within the first 5 minutes. (The mint flavor also helps.) I've never gotten jittery from the gum, and I've been using it since I got it on a Groupon 3.5 years ago. (Groupon no longer had it, so I source from Amazon, now.) I've never needed more than 1 piece to get me over that afternoon sleepy hump. GREAT stuff to have "in my back pocket"!

Taste great and gives me that added energy I need in the morning. I don't drink coffee in the mornings, and this gum provides a great start to my day, no jittery side affects (like some other "armed forces" gums I've tried) and the gums taste the best out of all the different energy gums I've tried. If you're looking for that energy kick you need, with a great tasting gum (I prefer peppermint) then this is the product for you!

This gum provides enough caffeine to wake you up without feeling jittery. After using this for a month, it does not seem as effective as it was initially. The peppermint seems to taste a little better. I don't drink coffee but this gum is a good replacement without the coffee taste or excess cream and sugar.

Very reliable!

But I am now addicted to java gum.

I don't like coffee, but a little jolt of peppermint caffeine is just about perfect. Wish the gum didn't make me hungry, but still better than pop or tea.

This has a pleasant mint flavor that lasts about as long as any other sugar free gum. It works well to help you stay mentally sharp whenfeeling a little groggy. The caffeine fix seems to stay with you a pretty long time.

made me sick to my stomach I think my 96 is expired cause I can't keep chewing with out getting sick to my stomach
