First Energy Caffeine Gum Sugar-Free, Fast-Acting Focus & Energy Gum Booster, Ideal for Sports, Work, Study, Drive & On-The-Go Alertness, Sweet Mint Flavor Chewing Gum, 6 Pack of 10 Pieces

Big fan of this gum and it's priced fairly too. Thanks!

I decided to try the First Energy Gum variety pack, always looking for a quick and portable way to get a little energy boost without relying on coffee or sugary drinks. This pack includes both Fresh Mint and Sweet Mint flavors.The gum definitely lives up to its fast-acting claim. Each piece has 40mg of caffeine, and I found that chewing one or two pieces gave me a noticeable lift fairly quickly. It's great for those times you feel an afternoon slump coming on, or need a bit of extra focus for work or a drive.The mint flavors are refreshing, especially the Fresh Mint, and they last a reasonable amount of time while chewing. The biggest pro here is the portability. These small packs fit easily into a pocket or bag, making them super convenient for on-the-go alertness.However, a significant drawback for me is the heavy use of artificial sweeteners. It contains a mix including sorbitol, isomalt, xylitol, sucralose, and maltitol. While it keeps the calories low and it's sugar-free, be aware that ingesting maltitol, among other sugar alcohols, can potentially cause digestive discomfort in some people if consumed in larger quantities. Also, a practical note: these tend to melt in the car if you park in direct sunlight, so be mindful of where you store them.Overall, if you're seeking a fast, sugar-free, and discreet caffeine boost, this First Energy Gum is a pretty solid option for convenience. Just be mindful of the artificial sweeteners and how your body reacts to them, and avoid leaving them in a hot car.

Soft chew and lasting taste. I've had other and this is the best.

Total waste of money

This is a review of the variety pack of caffeinated gum cubes from First Energy Gum. The variety pack includes 3 pouches of Sweet Mint flavor and 3 pouches of Fresh Mint. Each pouch includes 10 cubes of gum, with each cube containing 40 mg of caffeine, 2 carbs, and are sweetened with a combination of sorbitol, marital, and xylitol. These are decent tasting, but do have an initial bitterness when first popped in the mouth that I'm not fond of. Once you start chewing it, the bitterness dissipates and all you taste is the minty flavor. I'm not sure that I can taste the difference between the 2 mint flavors, but I appreciate that the mint helps hide the bitterness of gum.Overall, I like the option of getting my caffeine from gum rather than a liquid. This gum provides me a non-beverage alternative for caffeine when I don't want to drink a beverage or just don't have the time. With the current 20% discount and a price just below $16 for the 6 pouches, this gum is a steal at $2.67/pouch. It's a decent flavor once you get past the bitter start, and it helps keep me focused throughout the day without having to drink a ton of beverages. I really like it!

I really wanted to like this gum, but it contains the dreaded trifecta of sugar alternatives: maltitol, mannitol, and xylitol. These three just love to give me tons of digestive upset, and it went to work on my poor stomach by chewing on just one gum piece. So I may need to give this to someone else, because I cannot take these anymore. However, to be fair here's some positives: it did not spike my.blood sugar, so it can be diabetic/keto diet friendly within moderation, these give you a nice boost of energy if chewed on for a while. and the longevity of the gum is simply impressive. I was chewing on a piece and it did not lose its minty flavor or lose its soft texture at all, and there was no jitters or tingles to worry about (which is to be expected since each gum piece has only 40 mg of caffeine). If you don't have too much of a sensitive system, then these can help you out without resorting to the harsh energy drinks and triple shot espressos. Also, this can help you keep your mouth busy till lunch or dinner if you're dieting!

This gum is designed to deliver a caffeine jolt in a short time. If that energy boost is what you are looking for, I would say the gum delivers. The smell and the taste are pretty good. For me the caffeine lasted longer than I expected and I felt kind of anxious well into the evening after chewing it around 2:00 pm.The cubic shape of the gum and the reclosable package are convenient. The gum does have a wide variety of ingredients, which I included below, including a number of artificial sweeteners.Ingredients: Fresh Mint (blue): Blue: Gum Base: Sorbitol, Isomalt, Maltitol, Maltitol Syrup, Xylitol, Thickener: Gum Arabic: Flavorings: Caffeine: Humectant, Glycerol; Sweeteners: Mannitol, Sucralose, Acesulfame K, Color Patent Blue V
