One late night in the library while cramming for a college biochemistry exam REV Energy Gum founder, Blake, began his search for a much needed energy boost. Too late for coffee shops and too early to head home, the search ended at a vending machine filled with high-sugar energy drinks. Being a type-1 diabetic, the only viable solution to staying awake was chewing sugar-free gum. IT was at that moment the idea for REV Energy Gum was born.
