Caffeine Mints by Rally, 60milligram Caffeine, Instant Energy, Fresh Breath Caffeinated Mints, 0 Sugar, Natural Peppermint Flavor (2 Packs, 20 Mints)

I was nervous buying these based on the reviews, but figured worst case I could use them like pills. The compact and (lets face it) amusing packaging got me, but also the much lower dosage than most caffeine pills. Anyway, the taste is fine. A little bitter, yes, but overall nothing I loathed to eat and the aftertaste was fine. Caffeine itself is incredibly bitter, so they've done a pretty good job masking the flavor. My only complaint is the body of the pill bottle isn't the same size of a AA cell (which they didn't say it was) and they're pretty pricey ($5.25/container at the time of writing) for what they are. Not sure I'd use them every day, but for a vacation or conference, absolutely.

If I take 2, it’s like I drank a cup of coffee - in about a half hour. Not jittery, just not sleepy anymore. Exactly what I was aiming for. Kind of a weird aftertaste, but totally worth it. Like cinnamon flavor the best.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. Alright, thanks to a certain orange imbecile making my chosen source of emergency caffeine suddenly cost $70 extra, after UPS and their "brokering fees", I decided to try these things. I wish I hadn't. Initial mint flavor was nice, a bit weak, not much to write home about. Then the after-taste. The acrid, chemical aftertaste that lingered for half an hour. Look, I understand this stuff is to be consumed more for effect than flavor, but if the raw artifice of the stuff is going to assault my tongue like that, it is REALLY not worth my time or cash. Glad I only ordered the pair of tubes, versus a bulk buy.

Product worked pretty well for me. Very easy to use and the energy I got nice for the middle of my day. It was just a little energy and it did great. The only issue I had was the taste. the taste was a little mint-like but an unpleasant taste came shortly after. The unpleasant taste stayed with me for a while after I finished the mint.

I love these things. Someone is a freaking genius mixing caffeine with breath mints. A bit pricey, but they work, they’re easy to carry, but they do have an aftertaste.

Just about the right amount of caffeine to get started and motivate, but without rush or urgency — I chose mint taste — not overwhelming , and the mint itself dissolves soon. Flavor options also available.

They do give you energy but they taste like battery acid. That is probably why they are packed as batteries. They also do very little to freshen breath.

Rally mints are amazing. So much easier and more convenient/portable than coffee or any other caffeinated liquid. I'm genuinely so confused by all of the complaints about taste...maybe folks were getting a different flavor than I am? I only get the peppermint flavor, and it just tastes like normal breath mint peppermint and caffeine. I think that most people don't realize that the actual caffeine compound has a distinct flavor in its own right--that's why the under-tastes of most energy drinks are so similar, if not identical. I've seen some reviews that claim the mints taste "like chemicals," but truly, I think these people are just tasting the bitterness of [synthetic] caffeine (which, chemically, is identical to naturally derived caffeine.) That bitterness is almost always masked in products with sweeteners; and if a product is sugar-free, those sweeteners are more than likely going to have a distinct flavor themselves. Basically, these mints taste like peppermint, a touch of caffeine, and non-sugar sweetener. They're really no different than most sugar-free gum flavors. You get used to it really quickly, especially if you know what it is that your taste buds are picking up on. It's not even remotely close to some of the dramatic reviews here. Overall takeaway: Rally mints are fantastic. I'm a field biologist and need to keep everything in a gear fannypack or cargo pocket, and a coffee mug is conducive to neither. My profession is physically and mentally laborious, requires pre-dawn hours, and often does not allow for a return to any car, building, or civilization until the end of an 8-10 hour outdoor workday. Finding this product was a miracle treasure. These mints are a win all around. Highly recommend.
