If I came up to you and told you I scored some imported Diablo strips, told you to slide them onto our tongue and wait till it dissolves for the drug to take effect, would you trust me? Hippie Dudes, Stoners and children of the Drug Culture would definitely be getting the wrong idea. These Awesome caffeinated cinnamon minty strips are one of the cooler Ideas to have come out in a long time. Stick one or two of these on your tongue and feel the caffeinated effects quickly and leave your breath fresh in the process. Diablo strips really impressed me - a big Thank You goes out to Buzzbasket.com for sending me a sample, and being able to hook up those in the USA.
Taste:9
At first, I did not expect a whole lot from these little strips. I have had the Dentyne and Listerine strips before, and loved the flavor and concept - but adding 25mg of caffeine and cranberry extract sounded like a bad idea. I was thinking sour and bitter, like a crusty bitter Fruit Roll-Up.
Instead, I got an awesome extra minty flavor, which did a great job of freshening my mouth and tasting REALLY good in the process. The little strips melt in about 10-15 seconds, turn to a gelatinous substance, and end up stuck to the roof of your mouth. Before you know it, the strip is gone - but the flavor does not last long too. Unlike other fresh breath strips, the minty-ness does not hang around for a while, making i easier for you to just pop in another.
The serving size is 18 strips in a 24 hour period - which is a good thing. sticking to just one strip can be a difficult thing to do.
Nutrition/buzz:9
Diablo has caffeine - lots of it - doled out in little 25mg slices. So one does not do much? Try dropping 10 of these babies, and see the effect on your concentration. Not to mention, since this can bypass your stomach, the fact that these melt subcutaneously off your tongue provide your caffeine boost in less than half the time of a normal energy drink. I had about 8 of these in one sitting ( about 15 minutes) and was wired for hours. seriously off the walls bouncing - but I did not get jittery or start flailing around, as much as I was able to get lots of stuff done in a very sort time. I found myself in that happy place where I had energy to spare, smiling all the time and could multitask with precision and alertness. My only problem is that it went away too quickly, and in about 3 hours I was left right back to where I was, not sleepy, but definitely searching out my next caffeine fix.
Besides the caffeine Diablo energy strips also contain Cranberry extract for your antioxidant, ginseng, and some vitamin C. It is sugar free and fat free, so you can feel better about yourself after you suck on a dozen of them in one go.
Package:9
These strips come in one of those cool fresh packs that clip open and closed. I think tat this is overall a fantastic way to deliver these strips, although they do need to be someplace cool and dry, or the little flour dusting each strip will wear out and leave them all stuck together. They handily list on the foil package you opened to get to the pak with the caffeine amount, as well as nutritional info that would not fit on their tiny plastic serving pak. The color and log are all well, done - all in all a great job .
