I've got a $20 gift card to thinkgeek and don't really care for many of the other things.

I've tried the Bawls mints. They are more worthless than the drink.

The Foosh mints might be worth trying.. lots of caffeine and taurine & ginseng are a nice bonus.

lol at Zero Hour they gave us this "survival pack" that was made of probably 20 different caffeinated things.

it ranged from mints, to gum, to soap ... yes, soap. i never even opened mine and actually still have it at home. it's just a little collector item from the hex168 contest i won now.

Regarding the first link, you'd have to eat roughly 30 of the mints to equal the amount of caffeine in a single cup of coffee.

I can tell you that pengiun mints kick butt. If you eat like 50 of them at once , they will give you gas and your co workers will suffer if you don't have your own office.

Wow, that's pretty worthless other than if someone likes the taste

I suggest buying this stuff http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/candy/68ad/

I buy the Bally's Blast "Supplemints," which seem to be pretty similar. $1.74 for a tin of I think around 100 mints, good when I just need a little caffeine boost and don't feel like making coffee.

Penguin mints = Altoids with negligible caffeine. So, Altoids still >*.

Just ordered some stuff, have about $1.50 left on a gift card for thinkgeek, if anyone is going to be ordering stuff for themselves let me know and I'll give you the GC number

What did you end up buying?

 

[SophalotJack]

I tried the Bally's energy mints.

They have like an 1/8 cup of coffee's worth of caffeine. They work great for when you are studying for finals with a group and need a moderated source of energy boost whilst keeping your smelly smoke breaks in check.

If the thinkgeeks mints are like that, I recomend them.

The Bawls Mints = teh suck
You need to down like the whole effin tin for it to be effective. Screw that, I'll just chug a single Bawls or Red Bull instead.

I'll stick to my coffee with rich chocolate Ovaltine KTHX.
