Wrigley’s Wants You To Get Your Caffeine Boost From Gum Instead Of Boring Old Coffee

So there you are at the breakfast table, sipping some coffee or perhaps tossing back a fewcaffeinated Cracker Jacks and it’s like, “Ugh. This is so boring but I need caffeine or I will positively die right here from exhaustion!” Wrigley’s thinks it’s got the solution for you, and true to the company tradition, it’s in a chewable form: caffeinated gum, anyone?

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Wrigley’s is targeting consumers 25 and older who want a pop of caffeine on the go. Alert Energy Caffeine Gum already has a Web site (albeit, one with not too much info) and is set to go on sale next month at convenience stores, supermarkets and big retailers in the U.S.

I wish Wrigelys would make a breakfest sausage flavored bubble gum.

Lemme guess - there'll be the usual outrage when kids start buying it. You'll then have to show ID to buy chewing gum, but will still be able to vote with a copy of a cable bill.
