 Waste of money June 8, 2010
Stephen D. Alters
The flavor was fine but it didn't last for more than a few minutes. I didn't get any energy boost from this gum. The tin container is made in China which these days at least makes you think.
Slight buzz but it lingers May 20, 2010

The buzz didn't hit me right away but it lingers. I'm a coffee drinker so I equate the feeling from this gum to drinking tea - it slowly gives me energy but not right away like coffee. One piece is not enough - I usually have two every couple of hours. The gum tastes like skittles for the first couple of minutes and then goes completely bland. This may be useful in places where coffee isn't allowed:tests/class/library. Keep it in your bag just in case. If you're at home, you'd be better off with coffee and espresso.

I love this delicious orange gum. Unlike some other reviews, I think the flavor lasts a long time. The containers are great for saving stuff in, also.
 Tasty but not perfect August 29, 2009
Lynn Danielson (Denver, CO USA)
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.

Besides literally losing its flavor in less than 30 seconds, I have noticed no significant energy boost from this gum.
