Guarana Party Pops

I was skeptical about the guarana but the lift is real and smooth, no jittery crash afterward. The cola flavor actually tastes good instead of that fake medicine thing some energy candies have. I keep a couple in my bag for afternoon slumps at work.

Three of these got me through a double shift without my usual afternoon crash, and the guarana plus yerba maté combo feels smoother than plain caffeine. The flavor actually holds up too, not that fake cherry cough-drop thing a lot of pops have.

The guarana hit is real — about twenty minutes in I felt that familiar lift, and the yerba maté seems to stretch it out longer than a plain coffee buzz. Flavor's decent too, though the kola nut gives it a slightly bitter finish I had to get used to.
