Customer Reviews
Bad taste, no energy boost noted.
This 'orange' gum tastes very synthetic & bad. At least the taste doesn't last much longer than a few minutes, and then it's just a tasteless wad that I can chew to keep my jaw moving.
Tasty but not perfect
I like the taste of this gum. It's my favorite of the Penguin gum line. One piece of gum does not give me the energy boost of a Red Bull. The Penguin mint line advertises that 3 mints contain the caffine equivalent of a typical caffinated cola. I don't know if three of these Chicklet shaped gums have the equivalent taurine and guarana of a Red Bull, but I suspect you need more than one to get close to that level. Also, unlike Penguin mints, this gum is not caffinated. If you want a caffine buzz, check out Penguin mints Penguin Caffeinated Mints - Peppermints 1.75 ounce tin. However, I do find that a couple pieces of this gum helps keep me more alert during meetings where I might otherwise fall asleep.
My biggest complaint about this gum is that it can lose cohesion. It has a tendency to leave little bits of gum in between my teeth. They will go back together, but it's a bit annoying. In addition, since the gum is packaged loose in a metal can, the outer coating can chip and the gum can have a tendency to dry out. However, I suspect the popular alternative, packing each piece into its own foil and cellophane pouch, would substantially increase the cost of the product. Overall, I'm happy with this product as it is. If it were not for the cohesion issue, I would give it five stars.
Move Over Red Bull!
Sugar-free portable, natural energy gum. What a great idea. Great ctirus flavor, I think I'll take 1 tin for my briefcase, 1 for my car, 1 for my Uncle Buck the Truck Driver, 1 for my niece Sally in College (finals week!) and maybe a 12-pack for my nephew's company serving in Iraq!
