@zippyus Yeah, the initial flavor is good, but then it fades to caffeine bitterness, but if you hold out a little longer, the bitterness fades and you’ve got a muted mint flavor (with the mint gum, of course.)
It’s not bad. I bought spearmint and peppermint the last time. It didn’t seem to wake me up much, but then again, I drink a thermos of coffee every day. I’m probably having too much caffeine as it is.
I bought the mixed berry last time. It’s a blast of delicious fruity flavor. That fades quickly and you’re left with… I dunno… dirt and some kind of poison? It really tastes awful after that initial burst.
On a more positive note: one piece is enough to give me a comfortable, steady wakefulness. Nothing crazy, but a nice boost on a rough afternoon.
I ordered some of each of three flavors (peppermint, spearmint, & blood orange) when these were offered last time (about a month ago) and I have to say, they are surprisingly not awful.
What the heck, I’ll give the other two flavors a go, too.
@activ8xp In Japan Caffeinated gum is a big thing. However, it tastes great. They’ve figured out how to make it. I buy Black Black gum when I’m in the Japanese market.
There is no way there is as much caffeine in these as they say. I shoved 6 of these motherfuckers in my pie hole at work one day and didn’t get as buzzed as I would if I had downed a monster drink. The peppermint ones aren’t bad though.
For some reason, I thought to myself this might taste like the old Gatorgum(Blood Orange anyway) but no, it is disgusting. My sister likes it though. I think she is genetically programmed to suck on caffeine all day. She hates coffee but pops 200 mg caffeine pills like they are tictacs. Maybe this will cut down her consumption a bit.
Personally, my caffeine intake can vary from zero to hundreds of milligrams per day and I never notice the difference. I also have to drink ridiculous amounts of alcohol to notice the slightest buzz and I am not even hugely overweight anymore. My life sucks hard basically.
I guess I got a good deal. Two Saturdays ago I bought three each of the trucks, spinners, earphones and the caffeine gum for $30. The trucks are nice. All I really wanted was the trucks for Christmas. I can give the other things also. I don’t think I’ll give my three grandsons the gum. Their mother would kill me by cramming it down my throat. The boys are hyper enough, especially when I fill them with candy and send them home. Oh, the joys of being a grandpa. lol. I lay off caffeine. Does anyone want four boxes of the peppermint ones?
@wrallredsr Brother, you ain’t kidding. 3 years into being a grandpa, with one comin every year since. Being a grandparent totally makes up for having to be a parent in the first place.
The single most on-the-mark writeup yet. Thanks for not doing that when you offered this stuff when I bought it, as I would never know how totally accurate you were being this time.
For those that have not tried this gum, you don’t have to. The writeup tells the truth.
@Jonas4321 this write-up made me emit sounds that caused concern with my dogs. Was really a great joint effort.
Wish Meh could sell THC gummies, I’d be all over it…even just CBD gum. Caffeine? Why??? Coffee is soooo much better than TMJ-Dysfunction causing gum. Also, titanium dioxide as a nanoparticle causes autoimmune diseases (its outlawed in the U.K.) Just sayin…
What’s the legality of stocking up on this and giving it out at Halloween. I mean if Meh wants to help my neighborhood kids I could be their fence for all the melted candy corn, caffeinated gum, and failed fidget spinners. Or at least fleece it to all I find at my local PokeStops.
OMG, this is probably among the worst things on the planet you can ingest! “Maltitol… xylitol, sorbitol, …artificial flavors… caffeine… sucralose… titanium dioxide, resinous glaze, carnauba wax… fd&c coloring.” What’s next, plutonium gum?!
I’ve been chewing this gum a couple times a day for a week now. I don’t usually partake in things with caffeine so this stuff has given me close to 6 hours of energy per piece if I had to guess.
As far as the flavor goes the mint ones are good for the first couple minutes. The pleasant mint flavor is immediately followed by what I am describing as what Tylenol tastes like if you chew it up instead of swallowing it like your supposed to. I assume this flavor is the caffeine and l-theanine leaving the gum. I can’t decide if this nasty Tylenol flavor fades away or if I just get used to it but the nastiness only seems to last 5-10 minutes.
Then there is the texture. Pop a piece in your mouth and it’s hard and crunchy for the first few bites until your saliva turns it into chewing gum. Continue chewing for a few minutes and the gum gets very soft and nasty feeling in your mouth. It feels similar to what happens when I chew regular gum for too long and it starts to dissolve in my mouth. If you can handle the nasty softness of the dissolving gum in your mouth for another 5 to 10 minutes it slowly reverts back to what gum should feel like in your mouth; chewy. It remains chewy for the rest of the time I chew it. I’ve been chewing a piece for approximately 2 hours before I spit it out.
I’m going to buy some more. It has been keeping my coworkers in much better moods and it has been making me super hyper and probably slightly more annoying than usual. I approve of this product
After about 30 seconds, this gum tastes SOOO BAD - but I’ve actually gotten used to it, as stupid as that sounds. Plus, it doesn’t contain soy. For those of you with a soy allergy, you realize how incredibly rare that is. I’m happy with my first purchase last month and I’m buying me some more!
I bought the mango gum and, while the bitter caffeine flavor eventually came through, it was a whole lot less strong than I was expecting. Even a light roast coffee has more bitterness than this.
I badly want some more of this stuff. When mine ran out I went to amazon looking for more, any brand, and the price is ridiculous. This was an outstanding bargain! Would LOVE to see it get offered again.

For chewy people dead gum it
Warning, this gum tastes terrible about five minutes in, once the flavor has worn off and all that’s left is caffeine and sadness.
@zippyus Can confirm, is surprisingly good to start (mango flavor here)…but, once the flavor fades it’s some reaaally nasty stuff.
@zippyus Yeah, the initial flavor is good, but then it fades to caffeine bitterness, but if you hold out a little longer, the bitterness fades and you’ve got a muted mint flavor (with the mint gum, of course.)
It’s not bad. I bought spearmint and peppermint the last time. It didn’t seem to wake me up much, but then again, I drink a thermos of coffee every day. I’m probably having too much caffeine as it is.
@zippyus-That’s the exact time you dispose of it properly. I was gonna say ‘spit it out’, but i don’t wanna step on any gum, so…
Does it come with a 1:24 GMC SIERRA

@DaveInSoCal Like I said in my post the Juicy Fruit of the adult world 5 seconds of Yum! Followed by the taste of cardboard

What the heck, I’ll give the other two flavors a go, too.
/giphy protective-unforgiving-woodchuck
@The_Tim Congrats on being one of those suckers born every minute always wanted to meet one of youse
this gum is the new candy corn
@communist Perish the thougjt. At least candy corn taste good until it was gone.
STOP TRYING TO MAKE CAFFEINATED GUM HAPPEN. IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
@activ8xp I mean, it’s already happened. We’re selling it. It’s like a real thing.
@activ8xp that’s exactly why Meh has a wearhouse full of this gum because nobody bought it while it was on .
regular store shelves.
Somebody in product percurment screwed the pouch on this one
@activ8xp lol
@activ8xp @shawn Yeah, it happened, but it’s not happening, in the informal, somewhat archaic adjective sense meaning “cool” or “trendy”.
@activ8xp In Japan Caffeinated gum is a big thing. However, it tastes great. They’ve figured out how to make it. I buy Black Black gum when I’m in the Japanese market.
@activ8xp @Fuzzalini I too am a fan of black black. It’s clearly the way to go
$9 per gross.
on multiple levels.
how many keys is 144 pieces? Oh, its caffeine…never mind…
I got some of this gum with that terrible RC truck I bought. I’m not going to buy this gum. I’d rather chew the truck.
So this gum is the Juicy Fruit of the adult world?
How long did it take for @Shawn to get back to normal? Or whatever passes for normal at your office?
@sammydog01 i’ll let you know I guess
/giphy tonight’s random giphy fail
Question how does gum become defective and how would the conversation go when trying to cash in the warranty?
How long must you chew the gum to get all of the caffeine?
@burtr it hits pretty fast – I’d say 1-2 minutes. Definitely by the time the flavor is gone
@burtr Asking the important question.
Looks like there’s no spearmint, even though it’s included in the write-up?
@billchase2 Yup, we’re all out of spearmint except for the pack I sent to Shawn
Expiration date?
@Ottman It’s in the specs above
Normally I would buy this, but I’m trying to cut down on my caffeine levels. It’s not really working.
I had peppermint on the last one.
As others have noted, it’s tasty for a bit, then caffeine’s bitterness kicks you in the face.
Still scratches the itch for caffeine without having to dig into my stash of energy drinks or brew coffee, so I guess that’s good?
I bought this last time and found that the buzz is short lived and the crash is real hard.
@dino2269 someone compard the gum to candy corn, the effects are the same.
There is no way there is as much caffeine in these as they say. I shoved 6 of these motherfuckers in my pie hole at work one day and didn’t get as buzzed as I would if I had downed a monster drink. The peppermint ones aren’t bad though.
@jzmacdaddy I disagree – I think they’re on-par with 80mg. Personally I’d heed the 3-per day limit
@jzmacdaddy that monster is giving you a few more things than just caffeine.
@airjer @jzmacdaddy like what???
@airjer @jzmacdaddy @shells like read the label dude.
@troy no way man. I’ve checked my heart rate after chewing this shit, and drinking a monster. Way higher rate with the monster.
For some reason, I thought to myself this might taste like the old Gatorgum(Blood Orange anyway) but no, it is disgusting. My sister likes it though.

I had the mixed berry. Tastes like a fruity perfume smells. At first. Then it tastes like the perfume tastes.
Made me jittery immediately.
Yea, I bought 288 pieces!! I’m addicted to the nasty ass shit!! Okay?!!¡ Dammit!! I have have something to pray about!!

@Jonas4321 @shells I did not know about the titanium dioxide thing thank you I am throwing my gum away now.
What’s the legality of stocking up on this and giving it out at Halloween. I mean if Meh wants to help my neighborhood kids I could be their fence for all the melted candy corn, caffeinated gum, and failed fidget spinners. Or at least fleece it to all I find at my local PokeStops.
A burst of fruity-watery weirdness for about thirty seconds then its beyond terrible and you’ll want to spit it out immediately
OMG, this is probably among the worst things on the planet you can ingest! “Maltitol… xylitol, sorbitol, …artificial flavors… caffeine… sucralose… titanium dioxide, resinous glaze, carnauba wax… fd&c coloring.” What’s next, plutonium gum?!
@MrNews I had similar horrific reaction to the ingredients list.
@MrNews @shells so did my intestines.
@fuzzmanmatt Not as bad as this guy had with Haribo Gummi Bears!!

It works and I can keep the packages in my car. Perfect for long drives when I start getting tired.

The mango is actually good. You do taste the bitterness of caffeine a bit though

Where’s my Gum?? I’m a Gum Junky!! I Gotta Have My Gum!! Fed X it!! Posted on 06•19•18 @ 3:41AM CST, dammit!! No worries, its just me!!
Haha holy crap this gum tastes bad

@thekraut
@thekraut Well that was odd. It’s for sale at Morningsave.com. The link is being weird.
@sammydog01 Thank you thank you thank you :^}
Appreciate it VERY much
@shawn there is something wrong with the meh/morning save embed.
Here is the link
