[Our friends at PossessedbyCaffeine.com are telling us like it is again. Here is the latest review on one of the latest products. Get your energy in a nice candy wrapping - energy gummies.]
Kickbricks might have started off with something commonplace – a slightly sour chew, but have abandoned them for something seriously interesting. Caffeinated energy gummie bricks! These little fantastic chewy squares are a nice kick in the ass when you need it, and give the candy freak in you the sticky toothed glack your sugar taste buds are craving. While I would not put this flavor up to a gourmet gummie bear, I would say that you get quite a bang for the buck.
Taste:10
I am a big fan of gummie bears by and large, and these are pretty fantastic. Now these really are not bears, but the bricks are the same chewy gelatinous texture. The flavor is pretty intense, sharp and sour – but sweet in the back of the tongue and very flavorful. This is not the crappy flavorless gummies you find in cellophane bags – but a real candy treat!
What I did not find in this is any bitterness of the caffeine, and a nice aftertaste that was not fake sugared or medicinal. The move away from chews to these bricks is a fantastic thing.
Buzz:8
Three of these equal one energy drink. What does that mean, I don’t exactly know. I can tell you that the 25-30mg of caffeine provides quite a nice boost – especially because it is hard to stop at three. I suggest you just give in and plan on finishing all six in the pack. There was also a generous helping of Taurine and Vitamin B to help kick it too.
Nutritionally, there is exactly what you would expect from a gooey gummie brick, except for the artificial colors or flavors. Instead, they use black carrot juice concentrate for color and all natural flavors.IF you are looking for a nice bouncy pick me up, I would rip open a bag in a heartbeat.
Packaging:7
This came in an easy to shred open plastic bag, which looked great! In terms of the layout and design, this works really well. My only issue with this is that they really should label the bag as 1 serving, or find a way to reseal it when it is closed so it can save. It also seems dumb to have 3 sad little gummies in the bottom of one of these bags. A big thanks goes out to kingofcaffeine for providing me the samples
