4. Jelly Belly Sugar-Free Gum
Dynamite Pixie Shots are not your typical energy shot. They do not contain water, and no water is needed to consume them. Each tube is filled with a delicious candy-like powder containing Phoenix Energy’s patent-pending Mood•Focus•Energy formula. The sublingual effect makes for a faster and more efficient delivery system, according to the maker. Dynamite Pixie Shots are smaller and more conveniently sized for anytime use.

Jelly Belly Sugar-Free Gum is now available in four iconic Jelly Belly jelly bean flavors: Very Cherry, Watermelon, Island Punch, and Berry Blue.
