MEG - Military Energy Gum | 100mg of Caffeine Per Piece + Increase Energy + Boost Physical Performance + Spearmint 8 Pack (40 Count)

It has just enough caffeine to keep u going no jitters love it when I need a little push it is a little pricey but no more then a cup of coffee

We literally live on this gum, can’t live without the extra caffeine boost. 100 mg ea piece.

I love this gum, the taste is great, I am a runner and have been using this for several years, I also have dry mouth, this really helps, and it Doesn't have a lot of sugar.

Pros:-Tastes pretty good! (To a point)-Easy to carry packaging.-You get SO FRIGGIN' MANY.-Works as advertised.Cons:-Taste gets bad after prolonged chewing. Like fake sugar bad.-I'm worried about the amount of caffeine I'm taking in. Mostly because of how easy it is.-I'm worried about the amount of caffeine I'm actually absorbing. Mostly because it's gum and you're told to spit it out after 5 minutes. Is it really that effective?So. My job title is Web Developer. I've been at it for over a year but I'm still learning a lot of this. I'm also finishing up my final semester in an unrelated field for my associates. I've also got a dog that needs to go out early in the morning at late at night. Oh, and I do the majority of the cooking in the house. This leaves me with little time to relax and a major need for energy boosts.There are times when I can spend upwards of 20 minutes a day total just in the process of making barely acceptable coffee in our office Keurig, just so I can get back to my desk and get through a task. I haven't fallen asleep on the job, yet, but there have been times when I can feel my whole body starting to fade into it. There was something missing in my life and I knew it was...Vivarin. The Caffeine pill. (or something like it).However, that stuff isn't the cheapest thing, and it doesn't work fast enough sometimes to ward off the drowsiness.Then here comes MEG.Yeah, it tastes like shit after a few minutes, but you are only supposed to chew it for 5 minutes anyway.It's about 100mg of caffeine per piece, and they recommend you only take 4 pcs total per day, which is really all I need. One chew when I wake up to get my day going is enough to get me out of bed, out the door, into the office, and up to about 10-11am. Another piece, another boost, I'm good till lunch. After that, I might take another pc to either freshen my breath or maybe around 2pm to keep the groove going. Then it's another piece before I head out, because class will actually have me falling asleep if I'm not careful.It's hard to pay attention for me when I'm not actively working on something. So lecture-style classes bore me straight to sleep. But with a tasty little Arctic Mint and the 100mg of caffeine rushing in, I'm good until I get home. Then cooking time. At this point I won't chew anymore unless I have homework or something else that requires me to stay up a little longer, but if possible I usually opt for something sugary instead. Just a little rush before I crash into bed, only to start over again.Would I buy these at half price? Definitely. Even though I gave this a 4/5 stars, I'm very happy with the product. Dropping the price will keep me coming back for more.Would I buy these at double price? Maybe. I like them, but at double price, I might as well get Vivarin or some other caffeinated product to keep me going.Would I buy these again at all? Almost definitely. I'm going to keep an eye out for similar products that may interest me when I get close to low, but as far as I can tell, aside from any potential health risks, these are going to be a repeat purchase for me.

Love this stuff, makes me go when my brain doesn't want me to

I have been using this product for over two years now. I think it is okay, and I plan to continue buying it, although not as often as I initially thought. But people should probably be aware of one concerning issue I found since the early days: after chowing 2-4 pieces per day over 2-3 days in a row, my tongue becomes full of painful little white bumps. If I don't stop right then, the problem worsens. It gets increasingly painful if I don't take a break until it goes away, usually after 3-5 days. I contacted the manufacturer two years ago, asking about the problem. I wanted to know if they were aware of it or similar complaints by other people. I asked them if they had performed studies showing it's not harmful (I did not ask them to show proof that the product is healthy or even effective, just NOT unhealthy; according to FDA regulations, over-the-counter products may not be effective, but there is nothing they can do about it because there is just no regulation regarding the effectiveness of supplements and vitamins; however, the FDA will remove the product from the shelves if there is proof of adverse side effects on human health). Unfortunately, I never got feedback from the company, despite an initial email they sent me saying they would get back to me ASAP. After realizing they would not contact me, I told them I would contact the FDA to put a little pressure on them, but I am still waiting. I have not yet reached the FDA because I am lazy and don't have much time, and I will give the company one more chance to answer my concerns before I get serious about this issue. I think it's important to put my complaint on the record. At this point, I do not know the long-term consequences of this thrush-like reaction on my tongue. I asked my dentist, and he had no idea either; I went to my doctor thinking it may be fungus-related, and he told me he had never seen anything like it, but it was not fungus or thrush of any kind. I have, of course, done many experiments with myself over these last couple of years and demonstrated unequivocally that the problem is indeed related to the use of this product. I hope it will not impact my tongue's health in the long term. Foolish of me not to stop, but we all have our little vices. I decided to write this review so other users are aware of my experience. (by the way, I noticed many users complaining about the taste of the gum. Well, unless you are a female or a very sensitive male not yet exposed to the harsh realities of life, I cannot see how this can be a complaint at all. The idea is to use it to stay alert. The taste is neither good nor bad, and who cares anyway?)

This gum does a good job of helping to keep me awake when I am traveling. At the first onset of feeling sleepy, I chew one of these gums and it helps restore my attentiveness. Though I still recommend stopping and walking around at a rest area or convenience store, I have found that this gum is helpful when I need a boost.

Just enough to help get through the rest of my day at work...will be ordering more...
