Penguin Mints: Stereotypical mints, but with caffiene in them. Kinda blah, but they did provide me with a slight buzz. - C+

Red Penguin Mints: Cinnamon and Caffiene, a good combo. I guess the only flaw is that these mints aren't really red, just red speckled. Still, the cinnamon isn't overpowering, and they give you a better buzz than the plain. - B- (loses 1 point for false advertising)

XTZ Energy Mints - Woah. You can wake up just smelling these tiny brown puppies. They're minty, loaded with herbs and caffiene, and dissapear fast. It's got an addictive property too... must get more mints... must - A

Caffiene Kicks Candy - The only actual candy in the sampler, this has a fairly muted mocha flavor. It's sweet, though, and makes a good pick-me-up snack. These are also good when you REALLY need to finish something on time. I speak from experience - A

Warp Energy Mints - I think they're caffinated. That's what ThinkGeek said, but its not listed in the ingredients. Weird. They also look like little white tabs of Extacy, especially since the "W" on them looks more like an "E". Eerie. They do give you energy though, can't argue that. Still.... weerie. - B

PowerGum - This is probably the biggest dissapointment in the package. 10 pieces of gum, and you need to chew two at a time to get an effect. It's decent gum, but somewhere along the line the chemicals don't get into your bloodstream. Maybe you have to use it like Nicorette. Too late to find out, though. - D+ ('cause you do get some effects)

Cool, thanks. I'm considering buying the T-shirt that says "No I will NOT fix your computer" too. Heehee.

I want the WTF? babydoll t-shirt and the Tux babydoll and baseball shirt. I also want the Tux pilsners, and pet wants the "core dump" shot glass.

They sell those warp mints at 7-11. I haven't seen any W on them, but they're pretty good... probably because they use real sugar. But what's this about caffeine? I don't feel like I just drank a coke after eating a couple of these things. Did my caffeine leave the box before I tried them?

Perhaps, if you're anything like me the caffiene no longer affects you enough to notice.

I am so fucking gone on caffiene... it just doesn't even hit me right anymore. I tried going cold turkey for a month to flush my system clean, and it didn't even work. It just doesn't effect me any longer. I tried the Penguins and they were tasty, but I got zero buzz, even after chorfing half the tin. C+
