Need to Stay Awake .... Not With Buzz Bites!

I am feeling so sleepy as I drove Aidan and his dad to the airport at 6:00 this morning. I could take one of the Buzz Bites, but the idea of a chocolate candy that has the caffeine equivalent of a cup of coffee slightly frightens me. I'd rather take a nap or get a latte. In fact, I just looked up the ingredients for the Buzz Bites and it's artificially flavored and has partially hydrogenated oils. OMG! Man.... I've even taken the time in my life to find organic espresso. Like I'm going to put this in my now healthy body..... NOT!

Check it out. Notice particularly the 4th ingredient. Scary:

Ingredients: Corn Syrup, Sweetened Condensed Skim Milk, Sugar, Part Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Unsweetened Chocolate, Water, Caffeine, Cocoa Powder, Proprietary Synergistic Energy Blend (Taurine, Ginseng, Vitamins: Niacinamide, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamin Mononitrate, Cyanocobalamin), Whey with Calcium Caseinate, Salt, Natural & Artificial Flavors, Mono & Diglycerides, Sucralose, Acesufame-K & Soy Lecithin.

I'll bet you didn't expect a product review. I'm sure the product works, but I doubt if I'll ever find out!! I really like some of the people selling it and I'm wondering if they ever examined the product closely. Funny, they don't tell you about the fine print.......

That little rant actually woke me up a bit!! I'll stick to XANGO Juice thank you!
