• Official Military fatigue solution used in Special Ops Rations also known as "First Strike Rations"
• Developed and proven effective by U.S. Military exclusively for use by the Military and Security Agencies.
• Begins working instantly...Through oral absorption, chewing one piece delivers 100 mg of caffeine five times faster than pills or coffee. STAY ALERT received the Army's Greatest Invention of the Year Award for 2005.
• The STAY ALERT formula was selected by the U.S. Military for use in First Strike Rations by Navy Seals, Army Rangers, and Special Forces. Recommended by The National Academy of Sciences for situations requiring fast action.
• STAY ALERT GUM has had tremendous success in supporting our troops in the Middle East. First Responders, Firefighters, Police Officers, and Security Personnel have also found STAY ALERT GUM to be a powerful, compact, fast acting tool for stopping fatigue.

The U.S. Military has researched and tested for 6 years to help stop fatigue related injuries and deaths. The result, STAY ALERT ENERGY CAFFEINE GUM, is finally in production and available to the U.S. Armed Forces and Security Agencies. Soldiers no longer have to resort to eating freeze dried coffee grounds in the field to stay alert. The STAY ALERT formuala has been field tested and approved for First Strike rations. The U.S. Military has proven STAY ALERT GUM to be the most effective and efficient tool for addressing the fatigue/sleep deprivation problems that have been causing injuries and deaths among our troops. Not only does STAY ALERT decrease accidents, but it increases soldier performance. Clinical studies have proven increased physical and coginitive performance as well as improved marksmanship and overall vigilance under sleep deprived conditions. STAY ALERT GUM is proven to provide the most rapid absorption of caffeine through the oral membrane in the mouth, while also being the most compact, lightweight, and convenient vehicle. STAY ALERT decreases accidents, increases performance, saves lives.

Summary: Tastes like crap, but you get used to it
Comment: So after trying Jolt gum, I decided to try Stay Alert, which has double the caffeine per piece. It helps me get through my night shifts as an RN and my day shifts with my active 2 year old. It is an effective product and much cheaper and low-cal than drinking coffee and it won't stain your teeth. What's not to love? Quick answer: the taste. But you get used to it after awhile. I have let friends try it and they all agree: it tastes like crap. But it works.

Summary: GOOD BUZZ
Comment: it gives a instant zing, good flavor. The downside is
the buzz wears off quickly. I suggest after chewing the gum drink pepsi one [ no calories, most caffeine of any drink period.] with a lemon twist,and a dash of ground cinnamon or bark. I'm not kidding studies by Harvard and AMA shows "lemon juice and honey breaks up congeston and
stimulates metabolism" [sorry can't spell] "Cinnamon is a drug/calorie free energy boost" "Havard Men's Health Report July 2008"

Summary: Super Awesome
Comment: The first time I chewed a whole piece I literally wanted to vomit because of the aftertaste. I looked at the remaining box of 23 packages and thought "Crap, I'm going to have to resell them individually on eBay." But then within a minute, I realized that I was wide awake and super energized, which I've never felt so quickly from any other energy product (liquid, solid, or gel). Over the next few days, I discovered that if I chewed half a piece of the gum at a time, the taste is actually much more tolerable and the effects are just the same. So... thumbs up.

Summary: Terrific product, odd pricing
Comment: I love this product and most highly recommend it! Unlike the cinnamon version of this product, I cannot taste any of the bitter caffeine taste. The sweet coating and mint flavor are excellent, and the gum maintains a pleasant mint flavor long after the caffeine is gone. By contrast, the cinnamon version completely loses all taste after 5-10 minutes and I want to spit it out. With the mint version, I actually enjoy continuing to chew the gum.

The screwy thing is the pricing: The 24-pack costs $2.00 more than buying four 6-packs ($28 vs. $26), so it's clear they've adjusted their pricing to make money on the "shipping costs." I have Amazon Prime, but instead of "free shipping" it's really "$2.00 shipping." (If shipping was really free, the 24-pack product price would be LESS than $26 because the manufacturer's cost for the tray must be less than their cost for four 6-packs.)

Aside from the shipping cost, it's a great product!
