Maax Caffeine Energy Gum | Focus Gum | 125mg of caffeine per piece | Cinnamon | 125 total pieces per bag

I've generally found caffeine candy, gum, etc usually tastes pretty bad. These actually taste good. It's a fairly sweet cinnamon flavor that does a good job of covering the bitterness of the caffeine. I'd compare the flavor to Big Red, but surprisingly it lasts a lot longer. Seriously, if this were just regular gum it would be really good. Per the package, when the flavor does finally end and it starts to go bitter, you can discard it. As a bonus, it freshens your breath. It's nice to see actual sugar being the sweetener. The caffeine hit is definitely noticeable as it's equal to a strong cup of coffee. Use responsibly as 3 pieces give close to the 400mg of caffeine recommended as the maximum daily dose by the FDA. Obviously, keep these well out reach of children. These are a great value in comparison to actual coffee. I will definitely be buying again.

Every now and then I simply can't stop for coffee or an energy drink. That's when this gum comes in handy. It has a great cinnamon flavor, and the caffeine boost comes on quickly. The gum can turn a little 'bitter' after ten or fifteen minutes, but since I drink unsweetened coffee, it wasn't an issue for me. Apparently this is a known thing, as it's mentioned on the bottle. I bought a pack of them, so I can keep one in my car and one at my work station.

Not sure what everyone's complaining about, all I taste is cinnamon. This is a nice gum that delivers caffeine in a novel way. If you've ever had a reason to use nicotine gum then you know how to use this gum. You don't need to be chewing it constantly. Just flatten it out and put it between your gum and your lip and let it release caffeine. Once in a while chew it a bit and put it back. Don't use two pieces at a time because a thicker piece of gum releases it more slowly. If you want instant release, just take a pill. I have problems with my energy level as I get older and I get nothing done without enough caffeine. I've quit it before, for long periods, even a whole year. It just makes my life miserable and unproductive. Puritanical ideas need to die out. Productivity is much more important.

Update July 2022: My most recent order of this gum has a different flavor. The pieces are now bright red and the cinnamon flavor is stronger. Unfortunately, it now tastes vaguely like cherry cough syrup. I don't like it as much as the previous flavor, even though the caffeine flavor isn't as strong. However, I noticed that the last time I purchased it, they advertised 100mg of caffeine. Now it's 125! It makes sense that they would have to increase the flavor in order to compensate for more caffeine. Original review: Currently this is the cheapest caffeine gum per piece on Amazon. It also has a decent amount of caffeine when compared to others. I personally think the flavor is good, especially given how much caffeine it has. Caffeine doesn't taste good, but this gum does a great job of covering it up. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it feels like the amount caffeine isn't the same in every piece. I have tried many different caffinated gums, but this is the only one that, about half the time, makes my heart pound, gives me jitters, or a stomach ache-the same symptoms when I take far too much caffeine. 1 or 2 pieces of gum (100mg of caffeine each) should not be causing that.

Good energy but genuinely a terrible experience, it gets bitter like 5 seconds in. I’d rather use snus than this.

No chemical caffeine taste. Just a long lasting cinnamon flavor. Great pick me up when I needed it. I’ve bought this several times. I originally bought the small plastic “pop lid” containers and now I get the bulk bags and reload.

i am a school bus driver and this gum helps me get my day started. much easier to chew gum than try to drink my coffee and keep my hands on the wheel ;)

For me this is the best flavor from Maax gum. They all have a lingering odd flavor that I can only assume is the high dose of caffeine. The cinnamon does the best job of masking it. $30 for 125 pieces is a pretty good deal. There is another I like better but after shipping it's almost $2 a piece

Been a shift worker for much of my life, so I have come to respect any way to get caffeine in me. Caffinated Gum is one of my favourite ways to do so! Keep it in a pocket, a backpack or in the car. Roll off the couch and head off to work with one of these in your mouth and it saves time and money vs making or buying coffee. This is the best value gum I've found. Used to buy the same idea, "Military energy Gum" but it's individually packed and way more expensive. This is a bucket of caffeine for a reasonable price per chew. Cinnamon or the blue mint ones are pretty good, just make sure you spit it out after a few minutes when it doesn't taste good (Caffiene is bitter as heck, so once the decent flavour is gone, spit it out) (...or don't, I've chewed this stuff for hours before)

Tastes terrible but I haven't slept in days

Got a nice boost. I chewed around 8 pieces from wake up at 10am till after work at 8pm I tend to drink 3-4 rockstars a day. ( I wanna cut back on sugar) Love the cinnamon flavor but wished it lasted a bit longer than 15-20min, but all gums don't last long.

This is by far the best caffeinated gum I’ve had for taste and efficacy. I had purchased the spearmint flavour which is not available anymore and it was the best one. I loved the mint taste and the texture of the gum. It actually is pleasant to chew on. It works well especially for the gym and studying.

Taste is disgusting, and couldn’t return for refund so complete waste of money!
