Ice Breakers energy

When I went shopping today, I was in the need of some caffeine. I wasn't in the mood to lug around a sixteen oz. can of ...lost or NOS, so I looked hard for an alternative. What I found was Ice Breakers energy. Ice Breakers energy are mints that contain ten milligrams of caffeine each. Now, I'm aware that this isn't the highest concentration of caffeine available, but it will do. I don't personally like the tin design. I think they were going more of a natural, organic look, but it simply isn't working.

TASTE: I opened the tin and popped three mints in my mouth. The taste is very strong peppermint, similar to after-coffee mints. There was no bitter aftertaste, which was good. Overall, while they might be the best tasting, they atleast taste like what a mint should taste like.

KICK: Three mints contains about thirty mg of caffeine, so to get any sort of buzz it is required to take around eight mints or so. Eight mints gave me a pretty decent three hour buzz. The buzz was sustained and I received no crash.

FINAL WORD: For the first energy mint I've come across, Ice Breakers energy isn't bad. But it's not great either. Overall, Ice Breakers energy are not worth the $2 dollar price tag, but if they ever go down to about $1, then you might want to consider a purchase...3/5
