Rockstar Energy Gum: A Review

Rockstar Gum

I never thought I would be writing a review for gum, but most of the people I know have never heard of Rockstar Energy gum. Yes, this is the same company that has been waking many up with their highly caffeinated beverage for years now. Well, they are branching out it seems. They now have gum.

A few weeks ago I was backstage at the Rockstar Mayhem Festival and at the end of the night an employee of the venue asked us if we wanted to try out the gum. She had a huge box of it so we filled our camera bags as full as we could. So I’ve been trying it out for awhile now and I have to say I kind of like it. The mint is strong enough to wake you up just by it’s self. A friend had some and with just one piece (two per packet) he made the entire house smell like mint. This was after he started chewing it outside! Imagine chewing a good handful of Altoids and you get the picture. I don’t are how bad your breathe is, this will cover it up!

I don’t think I got much kick from the caffeine though. Just like with the beverage, they put a bunch of crap in that I would rather do without. Taurine is something I could do without. But with several types of B-vitamins and 80MG of caffeine, I never felt a kick. Just the massive explosion of mint to wake me up. Maybe gum is just not the best application of wake up juice?

I also noticed that the gum starts to taste nasty really quick. This could be caffeine without the iced mint flavor, but I couldn’t be sure. I could chew piece after piece and not feel awake. I really wished it would work though. Sometimes I want to be awake but know I won’t have a bathroom available for awhile. Image a bunch of truckers. They would love this stuff! There is a massive market for this if they can get it right. But I feel like this gum is not ready for prime time. Keep working on it though guys. I will be checking it out whenever I can to see if you can keep me awake without filling my bladder.
