Wrigley is launching caffeinated gum for adults who want an easier way to get a jolt.

Aimed at consumers aged 25-49, Wrigley’s new Alert Energy Caffeine Gum is targeting those who might have dropped the gum-chewing habit of their younger years, while tapping into the rapidly growing energy products market.

Alert has the caffeine content of about half a cup of coffee or a 16-ounce soda. Wrigley, the world’s largest gum maker, also produces brands including Juicy Fruit, Big Red and Doublemint.
