Who are you? Introduce yourself to our community:
I am Paul Flint - The Exam Slayer. I am a science teacher who now tutors 1:1 online and a keen cyclist on and off-road, sailor, rower, and not so much now running – at 60, the knees don't like me running!
What inspired you to give Caffeine Bullet a try? Why did you feel like you needed a caffeine boost?
I first tried Caffeine Bullet for London to Brighton off-road and then for the Scottish coast-to-coast Rat Race. Both times they helped keep me going.
How did you find the taste and ease of use of our products? What do you typically use them for, and why do you prefer them to alternative products?
I loved the taste and the boost in alertness of the mint bullets to start with, and then the Ginger Roars when they came out. Alternative products like Red Bull don't work as well and are too full of stuff I don't want to take. Coffee as a drink is inconvenient, and something in coffee gives me the shakes, but the caffeine bullets have no side effects for me.
I use them for a number of reasons:
1. On long cycle rides, especially after the halfway stage as a boost to keep going.
2. During long solo sailing trips when I need to stay awake – sailing is physically and mentally demanding for long periods, and it's not a good idea to fall asleep at the tiller! The Ginger Roars are fab as the ginger also settles the stomach.
3. For tutoring, some days I may have 11 x 1-hour slots, especially at exam times. It's essential to be as mentally alert for the last session as the first one, and they work a treat.
How has Caffeine Bullet played a part in your journey to smash your personal bests? How did it make you feel to smash your personal best?
I am not an athlete looking to bust personal bests, but getting through the challenge is enough for me. Staying awake and not yawning during sessions is the key!
For those considering trying Caffeine Bullet, what advice would you share?
Try all the flavours to find the one you like the best and the one that works the best for you. Then always have some close to hand on your adventures or at any time you need to stay alert.
