- Tastes like a citrus Energy Drink but in a portable chewing gum
- Eight (8) tins of Penguin Energy Gum per sleeves
- 25 pieces per tin x 8 tins = 200 pieces of gum!
- Portable, great tasting energy in your pocket--like Red Bull but smaller
- 8 count display 'sleeve'
Eight count sleeve of Penguin Energy Gum. Each tin contains .88 ounces (20 pieces) of Penguin Energy Gum. Pulling an all-nighter? Gotta fly a jet to Paris? Sick of having bad breath after drinking tons of coffee? Working the night shift? These little birds are a fantastic, non-liquid source of herbal energy.

| 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. |

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. |
| Bad taste, no energy boost noted. | 2007-10-17 | 1 / 5 |

| 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. |

| 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! |
