Each piece has 50 mg of caffeine, taurine and B vitamins in a pocket-sized format with zero prep required. Marie Thiffault, a founder born in Quebec and based in BC, developed the product for Canadians with active lifestyles who don’t allow time for a coffee break. Sunii is sold at select retailers across BC and Ontario, as well as on its own website and [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-chocolate). Sunii shows how a gum product with [fast-acting caffeine delivery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-caffeine-delivery) can carve out meaningful space among athletes, commuters and anyone who needs energy without the wait.
