I'm pretty sure a gamer that stops his World of Warcraft battle to refuel doesn't exist, and that's why [Gamer Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glitch-energys-error-404) could be life saving. In endless gaming session the taurine, caffeine, ginseng and other stimulating ingredients will keep you going. One bag of nuts has as much energy as three coffees or energy drinks.

According to Gamer Food, "Gamers, being an offshoot of Homo sapiens, have basic needs, and like their weaker brethren, eating is tantamount to survival. Currently, the most convenient options for gamers are [greasy snack foods and soda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bull-gamer-box) that while delicious, leave the consumer feeling bloated and tired." The company looks to solve this -- uh, problem.

The energy-infused gamer refueling nuts are available in the flavors Cashews of Chaos, Nuts of Destruction and Seeds of Victory.
