My expectations were pleasantly met, it works just like I had hoped it would. The price point is a lower than competing products, but the quality is great and I have no real issues with it. A nice boost to energy when I need it. Good taste. Quite a nice value, I would order it again.

This was a new concept for me, but one I found surprisingly effective and easy to get behind. Unlike traditional energy products, these caffeine strips use a cheek-absorption method, which seems to allow the caffeine to hit the bloodstream more directly and quickly than drinks or shots that go through the digestive system. While each strip contains only 50mg of caffeine, the delivery method appears to make that smaller dose feel more impactful than expected, especially for those with lower caffeine tolerance.

The spearmint flavor was genuinely enjoyable. It had a light, refreshing cooling effect, not as strong as chewing gum but still noticeable and pleasant. The overall experience was smooth, and the strip dissolved without much fuss or lingering aftertaste.

I went in skeptical about the low caffeine content, but I walked away impressed with how well it supported alertness and focus. The effects kicked in faster than I anticipated and seemed well-suited for moments when a subtle, clean energy boost is needed without going overboard.

At just over $1 per strip, it's not the cheapest option on the market, but still comes in lower than most energy shots. While the price might feel a bit high for the amount of caffeine, the convenience and rapid effect of the delivery system add value that's hard to ignore.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:
These strips are a really quick and easy way to deliver a dose of caffeine when you need it! They're perfect for me, because my relationship to caffeine is such that I need to have almost exactly the same amount at the same time every day if I want to avoid going through ridiculous withdrawal symptoms. I take a half-cup around noon but that's really not practical sometimes, especially if I'm out hiking. One of these strips happens to deliver the amount of caffeine in half a cup of coffee, and they're individually wrapped, so I can pop them in my pack and off I go. The instructions say to dissolve them against your cheek but they're pretty big, so they cover my cheek and some of my tongue. They're fruity, not unpleasant tasting, but they are kind of intense and make my mouth sting for a couple minutes. Still, I'm glad to have these! It's such a convenient way to deliver a highly portable, non-jittery, lower dose of caffeine as opposed to a drink or caffeine pills.

I like these little energy strips. They are very thin, you put it against your cheek and it quickly dissolves. The taste is pleasant but very mild. If you are dehydrated, they become a little sticky for a while, but if you are not they simply disappear. They are energizing and didn't cause any jitters They are very easy to use, and easy to carry around.

Lately after lunch I have found a need for a little "pick me up". Not being able to drink or having access to coffee these are a good alternative. I love the way they gently give me a bit of a lift without making me jittery. It is very subtle and hard to describe, I just felt better. I tried a similar product in the past and the taste was horrific. I ordered spearmint and love the taste of these.
They are so convenient. Silly me.... I am embarrassed to say that the with the first pack I tired to tear it open it didn't work-then realized you just pull it open (photo).... So easy! They melt quickly and, as I mentioned, taste good.
I highly recommend them!

Each strip only contains 50mg caffeine (half of an espresso) so the effect is probably mild even if it's released all at once, let alone slowly. The strips are rectangular and the corners briefly poked me in the mouth, but it dissolved and softened immediately. The flavor is minty artificial mango. Not amazing but not bad either. It leaves a gel-like coating on my inner cheek while it did its thing, but otherwise stayed out of the way. Whole thing probably lasted 30 minutes. I do feel awake and alert writing this, some time after it dissolved completely, and I don't feel any jitters or other bad side effect of caffeine. So it seems to do what it advertised to do. It's also very very light and compact, so perfect for stashing in the purse for quick pick-me-ups. I love having a dry source of caffeine in my purse (also because with liquid coffee, I'd then worry about having access to a restroom, but not dry caffeine).

All in all, it seems effective and very useful, and I have no complaints, so 5/5.

These Mango Tango Energy Strips are quite an interesting little way to get a caffeine boost. Each strip provides 50mg of caffeine, which is a bit less than a regular black coffee, but the unique strip format makes it incredibly convenient.

I typically use one in the afternoon when I need a pick-me-up and don't want to drink a whole cup of coffee. They're a great alternative for a smoother, sustained boost, and I appreciate that they're made in the USA, with no added sugar, and are vegan and gluten-free. It's a really unique and effective way to get that bit of extra energy when you need it!

I really like these strips on how they're packed individually so you can take them on the go. I quit coffee for my stomach issues and also just to not have to deal with k-cups and creamer and all that. But I still like to take some caffeine these strips are great they taste good easy to use very convenient to travel with and to keep on the go for when needed and I think the amount of caffeine is perfect like a cup of tea.

The small package is very easy to carry. I can take it along with me without taking up much room at all. The strips taste ok. I think I would get a mint flavor next time the mango is acceptable. The strips are pretty strong. Don't take too many because they will sneak up on you. I like these. I will keep using.

I'm really digging these mango caffeine energy strips. They are very handy to have on hand when conventional methods of ingesting caffeine aren't possible. Don't let the pictures fool you. This pack of strips is teeny tiny. That's not a bad thing because the fit in a pocket or purse with ease. The flavor is pretty darn good compared to others I have tried so I'm really happy with these. Great product!

I am enjoying these STIM Frost Mint Energy strips. The Spearmint flavor is minty and fresh like a breath strip. Each individual strip has 50mg of Caffeine and is easy to take. The instructions recommend placing on the inner cheek and allowing them to slowly dissolve. I quickly feel the energy boost that these give.

Each strip comes individually packaged, making them easy to toss in a purse or pocket and keeping them fresh. Once the package is pulled apart, peel the strip off the packaging with dry hands, balance it on a finger and place it into the mouth aiming for the cheek.

As someone who drinks a ton of coffee and energy drinks, these are great. I don't get a super rush from them, but I also don't feel the need to constantly look for my drink. The fresh mint is very nice, and they remind me of some mint breath strips that I've had in the past. They came with each strip individually sealed and the packages peel open from the top corners exposing the strip. The strip slowly dissolves in your mouth and leaves a fresh minty aftertaste. I've already thrown a couple in my car and a couple in my travel bag for those quick fixes I get when I'm out. Each strip says it contains 50mg of caffeine, and you're not supposed to consume more than 5/day. For reference, the full size M energy drinks I usually drink have 160mg of caffeine in them. I have not felt jittery at all since I've started using them, and today as an example, I'm 4 in for the day so far.

I had the chance to try this for over two months now and it's now part of my routine. I need to drive 12 to 18 hours straight for my job and I used to survive on energy drinks to keep going. Hated the bloated feeling from drinking so much. With STIM, it's much more convenient and I can carry it around in my jacket. I use two strips at a time but I guess its up to you. Definitely recommended to all my fellow drivers and truckers.

I keep this close by whenever I need a quick energy fix. I don't really like coffee and other energy supplements don't work for me. Will get more.

It's something different for sure. The strip dissolves pretty quick on my cheek but it leaves a slight residue which I just swallow after around 10 minutes. No big deal but it doesn't dissolve completely. Energy increase was ok, I use 2 strips at once sometimes but that's me.
