Getting fired up to plow through your end-of-the-year report after spending the weekend knocking back enough rum-soaked nogs to drop a pack of elves, is harder than being the rehab sponsor for Amy Winehouse. You'll need a serious shot of caffeine.

Rather than run to the break room to grab a cup of stale coffee, or to Starbucks to drop $4 on an overpriced latte, chew on a Buzz Bite. These energy chews come in chocolate and mint chocolate flavors and contain a proprietary blend of caffeine, ginseng, taurine and B vitamins that'll snap you out of your daze, and help enhance performance, increase endurance and stimulate your metabolism.

One Buzz Bite's got the same 100mg of caffeine that a cup of java's got - the amount you'd have to drink one and quarter energy drinks or three cans of soda to get. For a fraction of the cost. A single chew will run you about 50 cents, a lot less than those lattes and energy drinks.

Plus they don't need to be brewed or chilled, and you can stash them in your desk drawer as an afternoon jump start, or in your pocket to bring to the club and keep the party going. Which you can't do with a cup of joe. That, and they won't spill on your tie on the way to work.
