ZÜÜM ENERGY GUM
https://www.zuum.com.au/
Because sometimes you need energy… but not a whole coffee the size of your head.
Lately I’ve been testing out ZÜÜM Energy Gum — the Spearmint and Watermelon flavours — and honestly, they surprised me in the BEST way. If you love anything that’s quick, cute, and actually works, these little packets are such a win.
Here’s the rundown:
1. They hit FAST — like, weirdly fast
Chewing gum absorbs caffeine through your mouth, so you feel it quicker than coffee or an energy drink. Perfect for those “I’m awake… but not really” mornings.
2. Sugar-free but still tasty (a miracle)
Both flavours are sweet without being sickly.
- Spearmint = fresh, clean, classic
- Watermelon = fruity, fun, and feels like summer
3. Built for busy people (hi, it’s me)
Throw them in your handbag, work tote, or car console.
They’re brilliant for:
- School runs
- Back-to-back meetings
- Long drives
- Gym sessions
- Shopping days with zero motivation 😂
4. Caffeine + Guarana + B Vitamins = mini power combo
It’s basically a micro-energy drink disguised as gum.
But way cuter. And no jittery can to lug around.
5. If you hate drinking coffee in the afternoon… this is your fix
No 4pm iced latte guilt.
No giant drink to carry around Darwin heat.
Just chew and go.
6. Teens love them too (but go slowly)
My 15-year-old thought they were cool — which is high praise.
One piece is plenty for younger people because of the caffeine, so start low.
7. Flavour vs Effect: both deliver
Some energy gums taste like a science experiment.
ZÜÜM actually tastes like normal gum… and still gives you the boost.
8. Great for travel days or hotel stays
If you’re in a hotel (like we are!), these are perfect for:
- Waking up before exploring
- Long airport waits
- Quick pre-walk energiser
- Surviving the heat
9. They don’t melt in your bag (a win in NT weather)
Unlike chocolate, perfume samples, or half the stuf
10. Verdict: A yes from me
They’re cute, convenient, and actually effective.
If energy gum is your thing — or even if you’ve never tried it — ZÜÜM is a solid, affordable, handbag-friendly option.
