A can of Hype+ Bubblegum 80mg

Hype+ Bubblegum, the pink can of the pair

Ask a Snus Life regular what a caffeine pouch tastes like and the honest answer is that it depends on the can. Hype+ Bubblegum is the pink one of the brand's two caffeine pouches, a black can with the flavour name picked out in pink and a lightning bolt beside the 80mg on the lid. Hype+ is a European brand, and the maker says these pouches are made in Europe. There is no tobacco in it. Here's the thing. The lid calls them pods rather than pouches, and either way what you get is twenty slim ones carrying caffeine and a bubblegum flavour, with nothing dressed up on top. It is the sweet one of the two, and most people who pick it know that before they open the lid.

Sweet, classic bubblegum, the pink strip from the newsagent

Pop one under the lip and it is bubblegum straight away, the pink, sweet, classic kind you bought in a paper strip from the newsagent on the way home from school. There is no fruit note tucked behind it, no mint, no cooling, which is worth saying because plenty of sweet cans carry a chill these days. This one does not. The sweetness holds its line through the pouch rather than tailing off, and it finishes on the same sweet gum it opened with. Proper bubblegum, no messing about. Fair play to it.

80mg of caffeine a pouch, strong on our scale, and no ladder to climb

Every Hype+ Bubblegum pouch carries 80mg of caffeine. Our caffeine scale files that as strong, the band between 80mg and 120mg; under 40mg is light, 40mg to 80mg is medium, and 120mg and above is extreme. Hype+ sells both of its caffeine pouches at the same 80mg, Bubblegum and Cappuccino, so there is no ladder here, just a choice between sweet and coffee. The pouches are slim, 20 to a can, with the can weighing in at 15g net, so each pouch is 0.75g. The number is the same whichever lid you lift.

The sweet tooth's caffeine pouch, and the coffee can beside it

This is the can for anyone who wants a caffeine pouch to taste of the sweet shop rather than the coffee shop. If caffeine pouches are new to you and a familiar flavour is the way in, the bubblegum is the obvious pick, sweet and simple, with the slim pouch sitting quietly under the lip. Fancy its partner? Hype+ Cappuccino is the gold lidded can alongside, the same 80mg, the same count of slim pouches, and a rich, smooth coffee flavour where the gum was. And if you like your caffeine pouch with fruit or cola in it, the Denssi Energy range sits on the same shelf. Give it a go.
