Xero Picks Energy Infused Flavored Toothpicks with Caffeine, B12 and B6 (Variety Pack, 20 Count (Pack of 5)) Non-GMO Kosher Vegan

EDIT: Just wanted to update this review, as it is almost 2 years since the first review. These are now the only flavored / caffeinated toothpicks I buy. I usually grab the 5 flavor pack and the 3 flavor pack that has the mint flavor, and that will last me just over a month. It will probably take a drastic shakeup in toothpick technology to even interest me in another product at this point.I am a fairly prolific consumer of various kinds of caffeinated toothpicks. Every so often I will check to see what is out in the market so I am fairly confident I have tried pretty much everything. These Xero "Berry Blast" caffeine toothpicks have quickly become a favorite for a few reasons, and I have been through 5 tubes of them now.First and most importantly is the effect that the toothpick has. I think the description calls it "mouth tingle". To me it feels like an intense mouth vibration. This is great for me because it is a rapid, unmistakable, and strong feedback. As the sensation carries on, there is a mild numbing effect, which isn't enough to make your mouth droop like after a visit to the dentist, but enough to take the edge off a mild toothache. It is by far the strongest physical reaction I've had from an "energy" toothpick. These aren't wet like most of the others I've tried, and I don't know what effect that has on the caffeine, or how much each pick contains. Unfortunately, I am tolerant enough to caffeine that I probably wouldn't consciously be able to tell the difference, but I suspect with how I can substitute these for my regulars that the caffeine is within the ballpark. The feeling they generate is definitely energetic.Second, and what makes these quite a good value despite the high-ish price, is the quality. If you've used any toothpicks before you know that durability is a huge problem in general. This is especially true with most of the wet kind of caffeine picks that I am used to; all of the quality control problems of normal toothpicks compounded by the fact that they have had liquid forced into them under pressure. I don't know exactly what these are made of, but it is 3 times as thick at least compared to average toothpicks, and it is dense and fibrous. These things are absolute beasts. I like to bite on the end of a toothpick, and these can easily go an hour at my normal level. If I go gentle on them, I have had times where I've had to put one aside to take a meal break or something. The durability of these are simply unprecedented in my experience.The longevity of the pick raises the question about the longevity of the chems. In a pleasant surprise, they seem to last just about as long as the pick, and when they start to run down you can bite on the pick to get the goodness that is inside.These are heavy in my regular rotation and they are here to stay. I even ordered one of the non-caffeine flavors this time around to try those out. I am (unfortunately) not sponsored, compensated, or offered any free product for this review. I found these myself and have never had any direct contact with the company. 100% recommend them.

Very good quality, the taste lasts. The thickness is also perfect. They last a while as well!

Personally I like the flavor but it is unique and I can see that not everyone would like it. Lasts pretty long and gets me to stop biting my nails for a little while. Good amount, probably won’t buy again but I like them.

I actually received different flavors than the ones I ordered, however, I decided to keep/try the ones I got. They’re amazing, the flavor is clean and juicy, like the first few hits off a new vape. The flavor and tingle lasts for a long time and though I am only on day 2 of quitting the nic salts, these seem to fill the cravings perfectly, without the headache/dehydration, freezing toes or crash.

Did not taste good, did not taste like it should at all and they won't let you return them. I tried 3 different flavors, seriously gross.

The grape toothpicks are the BEST out of all of these and the flavor lasts for over an hour. The others are junk. Flavor lasts maybe 5-8 minutes on the other ones and definitely not as good. More of a chemical taste in the others. Wish I just had an option to buy the grape picks.Great to use if you’re trying to quit smoking. On day 32 now.

perfect for quitting vaping

tl;dr: Wish I could return these, but it feels kind of weird to return a product like this, right? I only took 1 pic from each to taste them and see if something happened. It would just create more waste and feels weird.I had high hopes for this product. That idea seemed cool and I have been trying to get more into consuming caffeine. My tolerance is very low, like I get an elevated heart rate from a single shot added to my PSL at Starbucks. Which I drink maybe once a month. So ya, caffeine hits me easily.These are just mildly flavored toothpicks it seems unfortunately. Maybe they do help with digestion or whatever, but gum is cheaper and yummier for that purpose? No tingle and not caffeine feel or energy like at all. I even tried sucking hard, chewing them through, and doing like 4 toothpicks in the same hour to try all the flavors and see if something would happen after the first 2 did nothing to me.The 4 toothpicks in an hour left no tingle and did not make me feel anything in terms of caffeine. Almost makes me wonder if maybe these are like old or something? Like are they expired? I'm not about to go spend more money to buy yet another pack just to find out. Especially when I don't feel conformable returning the useless pack I already have.2 star cuz the watermelon tastes nice and cuz I guess I'll be using these as toothpicks? Hahahaha... *sigh*...
