I've never fallen asleep in class!
(5 out of 5) by grad student on Apr 29, 2008Going from class to class every day makes it difficult to stay caffinated. Without these mints I would have fallen asleep in many a class. If I graduate, it will have been in large part because of the help I got from these mints. I have to chew about 6 or 7 during a really boring class when I had only 4 hours of sleep. But usually I can get through a class with only 3. They don't give me headaches or make me crash. They just keep my eyes open and sometimes make me type a little faster.
Whenever the person sitting next to me starts zoning out, I usually slide the tin over and boy are they grateful.

Very very good idea
(5 out of 5) by Brett C. Canfield on May 30, 2007Hey, these mints are great. I love the idea I can tote a tin of mints around with me instead of drinking coffee or coca cola. How convenient! And, my breath is better to boot....

Penguins get me through the day
(5 out of 5) by D. Dunwoodie on May 16, 2006 (Ohio, USA)I *love* the taste of Penguins! They're much better tasting than those 'curiously strong' mints. And the caffiene is a great delivery alternative to Coke or Pepsi, which I drink too much of already.

Almost as good as Pure
(5 out of 5) by John T. Mudge III on Feb 2, 2009 (Kent, WA USA)Personally, I just about live on these. I generally have a couple in the morning before class, either of these or Warp Green Lemon Lime "mints", depending how much caffeine I think I need (the Warp ones are a little less caffeinated).
A hint to the uninitiated: one of the nice things about mints, etc. is that is you can keep them under your tongue: "sublingual infusion" is the term for this (absorbing the caffeine through the blood vessels on the bottom of your tongue), and I find it not only works better, but comes on slower (not a sudden jolt to your system, e.g. less jitters), and lasts longer. Your mileage may vary :)
Bottom line: get these mints. If you want to buy a smaller quantity, thinkgeek sells them individually.
