Topic: I need recommendations for caffeine gum or mints
Meta !faggot started this discussion 3 years ago#106,192
Basically I want either a gum or a candy that has a decent amount of caffeine in it.
It must have:
* No artificial sweeteners. I don't care if it has sugar but I can't stand artificial sweeteners
* At least 20mg caffeine per piece
* I don't care about flavor much just as long as it's not terrible.
If you know of any good nicotine candy, I'm down for that as well. One with caffeine *and* nicotine in it would be my holy grail but I'm probably never going to find that.

While those do have caffeine in them you would need a good handful to equal one cup of coffee and I was aiming for something like 1 mint = 1 cup of coffee. Basically I want something pocketable.

Ok you won't believe this but I was at the vape shop last week. The guy who owns it use to be a surgical nurse. He told me that during long surgeries they would put coffee grounds and mint vape fluid in some kind of cloth bandage material they had there, fold it into a small pouch and put them in between their cheek and gum like that snuff shit people use. He said they would get a great caffeine and nicotine buzz and it had good flavor too. Said they would make a few up before surgeries and one would last for an hour or so.

"Cups" of coffee are weird. I have a French press that is nominally "8 cups" but each "cup" is 4 ounces. I think you'd be very disappointed if I offered you a cup of coffee and poured 4 ounces. It produces maybe 3 good mugs worth of coffee, each being ~10.6666... ounces. Of course this isn't even going into how strong the coffee is, which ranges from "light brown hot water" to "black sludge", or the beans, which again vary in potency...
For myself a "cup" of coffee is a 16oz tumbler full. But given the above, this is basically meaningless. Somehow a "standard" cup of coffee has something like 95mg though who knows where that figure came from.
I think ~20mg caffeine is a good amount for a mint or small candy, in terms of taste and dosing. Cause sometimes you'll just want a little pick me up in which case you just pop one mint. Sometimes you're pulling an all-nighter or whatever and you'll need a big handful of them.

Because I want to consume caffeine at work in a palatable form. I can of course get coffee in the breakroom but the coffee there sucks. I could bring my own coffee in a thermos but then you have all the effort of cleaning it and brewing the coffee every day. Sometimes I want caffeine without the coffee taste. I don't do sodas or energy drinks.

The other part being, I want some kind of caffeine mint/candy that isn't artificially sweetened. I cannot stand sucralose, aspartame, or acesulfame potassium, or stevia. They're all disgusting to me. It's fine if it has real sugar but I cannot stand artificial sweeteners. They're all just nasty to me.
