@robson The runs are less of a problem for those that are already in or near the bathroom because of the vomiting.
My wife is one of the unlucky who are “adversely affected” by large doses of taurine. The nausea lasts for hours. Normal protein rich foods aren’t a problem, just stuff that has lots of taurine without the other amino acids.
Whew, for a moment I was afraid meh had given up on offering questionable and unappetizing food-like items with looming expiration dates.
So glad it isn’t true!
I’ll try this. I got lots of caffeinated gum here once before, and it’s very bitter, so not for everyone – my wife can’t stand it. The peppermint was bad, but the mango and the berry were good. With this being a different brand and a different kind of mint I’m hoping it will be better. Maybe the taurine will change things also.
I’m assuming this will be largely the same in that it is very strong. You absorb most of the caffeine through your mouth in a minute or two which can be quite uncomfortable (anxiety / heart rate), though a good way to wake up. I usually chew half a piece in the morning and half a piece after every 45 minutes of a run.
Hopefully this semi-related info dump is useful to someone, lol.
@Telanis Fwiw, the most useful comment so far. I too tried the other stuff and it was awful. Was hoping someone knew specifically about this one. I should probably pass. Among other things, you helped me walk through to that conclusion.
Will this taste like normal gum?
Run Gum is a supplement containing our proprietary blend of performance-enhancing stimulants. The slight bitterness you might experience is proof that you are chewing gum that is packed with energy stimulants that will give you a boost.
@joelmw@Telanis A bitter taste. Yum yum yuck. Just what one is looking for in a caffeine hit. Sounds so delightful. Not. I’ll get my caffeine hit though eating chocolate. Chocolate tastes substantially better.
@Telanis I didn’t make it past your comment yet before deciding to take a chance on it, so thanks for the info. I work nights and if it helps great, if not I just wasted $12.
Classic write up, took me back to the good old days of Meh. So does the gum. I haven’t missed that, however. Jesus, that stuff tasted like crap, I imagine this stuff does too.
@OnionSoup this would be terrifying! Like a fly on a fly strip or a mouse on one of those sticky pads. I guess you could just enjoy eating the gum while you’re stuck there to fade.
50mg caffeine? I don’t know if that would even get my attention. I’d have to chew 3 packets at once. The “mouth melts” I used to use were 150mg caffeine per hit.
Hideous on several levels. I guess I was just brought up to view gum-chewing as inherently uncouth. Mom used to say “You look like a cow, chewing its cud.” I like cows (they are delicious), but I don’t want to watch them chew gum.
This gum taste gross. First it taste like Pepto Bismal then it taste like rusty pennies . I could not do it, they taste awful. I placed them in the mail room. Wrote Free on them.

Did someone say “Rum!”? Oh, gum. Nevermind.
@hchavers Rum Run! That would be a popular event! Might require a different level of exertion than a Pub Crawl though.
Run Gum? Gum that gives you the runs? No thx!

I tried this gum and only seemed to give me a quick boost if I smoke 3 rocks right after it. So I can’t say if it was the gum or crack.

I’m no personal trainer, but I don’t think you should be chewing gum while doing any kind of workout.
Whew, for a moment I was afraid meh had given up on offering questionable and unappetizing food-like items with looming expiration dates.

So there.

Re the taste, in their own words:
@joelmw @Telanis A bitter taste. Yum yum yuck. Just what one is looking for in a caffeine hit. Sounds so delightful. Not. I’ll get my caffeine hit though eating chocolate. Chocolate tastes substantially better.
@joelmw @Telanis the bad taste means it’s working!
@joelmw @medz @Telanis as with many pre-workout supplements!
@Telanis I didn’t make it past your comment yet before deciding to take a chance on it, so thanks for the info. I work nights and if it helps great, if not I just wasted $12.

3.9 stars for the write-up! Next chapter please!
Energy Gum!
So close to energy gun. Alas.

@marvelljones yes, but this also tastes bad… so there’s that.
@warpedrotors Cool, so I will set a timer to make sure I get the maximum caffeine hit and then spit it out. Brilliant product.

@MrNews your mom sounds lovely
@medz @MrNews /showme a mother cow chewing bubble gum cud
@MrNews maybe your mom was trying to get you to chew with your mouth closed.
@warpedrotors That was an oft-repeated refrain. Then there were the frequent rebukes for “twitching.”
@MrNews if you’re already twitching, you should probably avoid this caffeine gum… unless you’re twitching from caffeine withdrawal.
@warpedrotors Hilarious!
