So I am going to say something I never thought I would say. Why? Well, it is not like Go Fast has a history of coming out with the MOST delicious gum in the world. No. I would actually say the opposite. Lemon Lime Flavored evil? The Adrenaline flavor that tastes like battery acid? Now I have the coffee flavor…Un-freakin’-believable!

So one day Troy Widgery, the CEO of Go Fast comes into my workplace – more like invades it – and drops off 3 boxes of GO Fast gum for us. Immediately, people run away, knowing how Go Fast Gum is – like party mints at your gramdma’s coffee table – just mocking you, tempting you, while you know in the back of your mind knowing the perverted truth that will rot out your mouth. A few souls grab a piece or two, either because they don’t know or think they can handle it as a dare. As a lark, I give out some pieces and watch my workplace comrades run for the trash spewing out the flavors I hand out.

But then some stop spitting it out! My fellow workers start coming to me for more! So I try their new Coffee Flavor – And it is good – REALLLLY GOOD. Slowly there is a line at my cubicle with coworkers Begging me for more but I gotta say NO because I am on 3 pieces of this stuff now at one time man, and l..lo..lov…LOVE IT!!! I know our web designer said that she was an addict for the GO Fast Gum Rush and we all laughed but she is wanting me to trade me her cat for 5 packs of this new coffee flavor – what is in this? Crack?? Next thing you know I am Using, and when I am not chewing I wish I was… This stuff is seriously addictive – I mean I am sure I can stop anytime but my box is running out and I gotta conserve what I got left but my home is full of ripped up gum wrappers and piles of ABC gum goo…..

OK – Coming Down Now. Seriously, Go Fast has finally done right with the world and produced a Kick Ass Coffee Gum. The flavor is still strong, but sweeter and tastier than previous Go Fast gums. And the kick? You will feel it for hours. Chew a piece at 7 or 8, and don’t expect to be sleeping any time near midnight. Although each piece has around 83mg of caffeine, there is enough other fun energy stuff in here to keep you going a very long time. While their exact blend is proprietary, they do list Vitamin B complex and Ribose in their energy mix.

This – and the whole experience is very fast. The gum is not meant to be chewed for more than 5 minutes, when the flavor is all gone. And because the gum works without you having to digest the caffeine in the stomach to reach your bloodstream, you will feel it in no time as well.

The most amazing thing about this gum is it does not taste even a little bad. I am not sure I would go so far as to say it tastes good, but it is pretty damned close. I have had much much worse coffee flavored stuff in my life, certainly. The gum itself is a little crumbly, but is a definite improvement over the last year.

This goes to show what a little hard work and testing will produce. even their gum has stopped sticking to the foil package, and the center does not ooze either. A decent design and clean fonts make things nice and easy to read too. After 5 years of testing, Go Fast has finally gotten energy gum about as good as it can possibly get!
