Hello, I am one of the test monkeys and occasional writers at GadgetKing. I was given a pack of “cinnamon” ENGOBI and a pack of “lemon” ENGOBI and was told to try some and pass some around to my cohorts. My overall first impression is someone sprinkled a bunch of crushed caffeine pills over some cereal, once these things melt in your mouth a second wave of “flavor” will hit you – the after taste is that of chemicals and ummm EVIL. 
As far as caffeine goes, I am sure it does have loads, you can taste it all the way, in fact I “tested” this stuff 15 minutes ago and the “taste” just keeps on giving. As far as my co-workers go, it’s sufficient to say I lost friends over this. One of my innocent victims was on the phone when I slipped her the bag, she reluctantly popped a chip, and then her face contorted – first thing she said was “I thought we were friends”, she then hit the water bottle like a person who just came out of a desert. BTW my boss just called me and showed me the glob of brown stuff from the bottom of the bag – WTF?! But I will say it again, there sure as hell caffeine in those chips *twitch*.
I tried em… they weren’t that bad… and they do give you a boost of energy. I think Gene was just thinking too much about the fact that they have “caffeine” in them.
They were brave enough to send you a sample.
What do you mean Squiggy… we tell it how it is…. if it is good it is good…. if it is bad it is bad.
I like the cinnamon better than the lemon. But they are good. The lemon taste like a weird sweetner. You must have got a bad batch? Cinnamon!!!!
I’m Gene’s “ex-friend” who tried these chips. I can forgive the Cinnamon Surge flavor, but the Lemon Lift one – CURSES!. I was like “Oooh lemon! This can’t be bad – I like lemons, I’ll have some.” It was lemony alright, but the aftertaste just kept on… – how can I put this – it kept “lifting” me off the ground. I realized, I was actually jumping for water. Mind you I’m not a major water drinker, but I drank almost 2 bottles of it to rinse off the taste.
I just hope before they come up with their “BBQ” flavor (if they haven’t already), that they would do more “in-house” taste testing.
And Gene, I’m still not talking to you.
That stuff aint natural yo!
LOL, have you figured out what the brown lumpy stuff was on the bottom of the bag?
