A packet of Think Gum

Think Gum is a brand of functional chewing gum made by Palo Alto, California-based company Think Gum LLC. Its packaging claims to "enhance concentration and improve memory".[1] It contains caffeine, Ginkgo biloba, Bacopa, vinpocetine, guarana, peppermint and rosemary.[2] The chewing gum is sugar free and contains 10 mg of caffeine per piece.[3] The brand was introduced in late 2007.

Think Gum was created by a Stanford University medical student who developed the product to get more out of his studying.[4]

Think Gum was featured at the 2008 Cool Product Expo as well as on the San Francisco Bay Area Evening News.[5][6] Think Gum LLC has sponsored events such as the Butt-Numb-A-Thon, Stanford's Entrepreneurship Week,[7] and the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.[8]
