Pzaz earns mixed-to-positive reviews: it works for quick, portable caffeine with an immediate, jitter-free boost for many, but polarizing—and often intensely bitter or sour—flavors and inconsistent effects for some temper enthusiasm. Reviewers praise the fun branding, pocketable spray format, breath-freshening Mint Frost, and on-the-go utility, while recurring complaints cite harsh taste (especially Super Sour), confusing dosing, short-lived lift for some, and leaky or break-prone spray mechanisms.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I tried the sour flavor and the mint flavor - both flavors are incredibly strong! The sour was waaayyyyy too much for me - I like tart tastes, but the taste of this makes it a struggle to use it. The mint was like the most intense mouthwash I've ever used, but was much easier for me to handle than the sour. Enough about the taste, do these work? Yes, they do, and the caffeine is mild enough that it didn't make me jittery or mess with my stomach the way some energy drinks do. I'm on the fence on whether I'll buy; these are fun and convenient, but I'm usually happy to just have a cup of tea when I need caffeine...perhaps when hiking/doing activities where having a cup isn't feasible.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the best experience with Pzaz. I ordered it via thingdrop and proceeded to wait over a month to receive; I had reached out to their help email in that time but didn’t receive a response. Finally got them today and I’m pretty underwhelmed. The packaging was great but it looks like I just got the mint flavor as opposed to the variety pack, which was what I ordered. Obviously, had to try it immediately and it did give a bit of a jolt but I wouldn’t say it was life changing. The flavor itself is also interesting? It’s not a super sweet mint, more tangy. Overall, it’s definitely an interesting product but I won’t be repurchasing.

I really love this product. So convenient to throw in my bag before a concert or festival. The packaging is fantastic - it's the size of a chapstick and looks like one too. I love being able to 'micro-dose' caffeine when I'm feeling just a little tired but don't want to load up with a coffee or energy drink and be up all night. I didn't have any issues with leakage and I didn't mind the taste at all - though some of my friends did squirm a little when they tried it. I think you just have to know what to expect. Can't beat the convenience. Would totally buy again.

Still haven't received my Thingdrop order approximately 1 month after placing the order. Will update my review once I've tried the product

This is a cool and funky little product! I love that it is basically a travel size hit of energy! I didn't love the taste of the mint flavor, but the sour apple one was pretty good. For all my chronic headache girlies - if caffeine is something that helps your headaches and you're worried you might not be able to get a coffee or soda when the headache is coming on, this is a LIFESAVER to have in your purse or pocket! I would love to see some new flavors though :)

I really really love this. I'm a very sleepy person and I don't always want an entire coffee/energy drink so I had my eye on this and was super excited to see it as a Thingdrop. My variety pack came with mint, berry, and sour flavors. When I first received it I tried 1-2 sprays of each and while they are on the bitter side, I didn't find them gross like some people are reviewing them as, although berry isn't my favorite. Those 3 sprays definitely perked me up a bit after work when I had some errands to run but there were no jitters, no crash, and I had no problem getting to sleep on time. I can see myself keeping these on hand.

I loved Pzaz!!! My package from the thingdrop arrived the day before I left for Africa on safari, and this is the only thing that helped my jet lag. It was fast, portable, had a zingy flavor, and was easy to use on the go. I tried both flavors and really did not care for the sour one but the mint was great. Not much different from a standard breath spray, but with all these added benefits.

I think the overall concept of the "breath spray" is cool and innovative. Still, I didn't personally feel too strong of a caffeine effect, and there is a pretty pungent aftertaste when you spray it, so while you initially taste the mint or sour apple, there is a strong aftertaste that I can't place. I am not as sensitive to caffeine, which could've affected my experience. The initial taste is pleasant, though! I don't think I would repurchase it, but I keep the ones I got from Thingtesting in my car as a backup in case I'm driving late and need a little something to keep me going until I get home.

I work in hospitality and often have to serve different people. Sometimes during breaks of course I eat some foods where the smell could linger, I use this and it's all gone. not only that, it makes my morning shifts better as this also powers me up as my caffeine in the morning, it's so much better than coffee without that lingering coffee breath and it's a good pocket sized so I can bring it anywhere and have access to it at any time!

Do not underestimate this little spray- the caffeine be caffeinein! The first time I used it, was probably around 3pm. I did not fall asleep until 4am people! It definitely delivers on its promises. one star off bc the flavors are slightly unpleasant but...worth it!

Truly terrible flavors. I really wanted this to work as I love sour/tart flavors and could use a micro-dose of caffeine every once in a while, but it was so gross that I can't even give these away. I tried both the sour flavors and the minty ones.

Fun concept but a terrible taste. I really wanted to like this product but I have a problem with gross tastes and unfortunately this fell in that category. But, if they reworked the flavor I would give it another chance.

I've enjoyed these. I like the taste of the sour. The mint isn't bad. My wife doesn't care for the flavors but still uses them. I like the packaging and stickers that came with it. It's a quick convenient pick me up for the afternoons. The size is perfect to toss in your pocket. I keep one in my truck for longer drives. I would buy them again.

I was so set that I would like the sour flavor and it would be great but omg was I wrong. I’m not a huge fan of mint but this one tastes exactly like old school breath sprays and tolerable. what I LOVE is the packaging. the smiley face at the top made my heart so happy and what I LIKE is the fact that I do get a little buzz, a little pick me up. so beauty & function yay flavor .. just no. maybe the other flavors are better.

Really, really strong—in flavour not caffeine. May be some people’s thing, and I dig the idea. Just not my fav.

Flavor is definitely minty, but has a little medicinal flavor at initial burst. It's weirdly a better aftertaste than initial. Energy burst seems okay, haven't dialed in exactly what's best for my own results yet but I do feel it doing *something* so I know it works. Haven't tried the sour flavor because I'm a chicken, but the minty is as described above. I'm not sure what on the ingredient list is reacting to me with that "medicinal" taste, but without that I'd change my rating to a 4.

I'm not very sensitive to caffeine, so I let my husband test Pzaz. He really likes it and finds it gives him an effective quick boost to stay focused and alert throughout his day. I asked him for his comments, and he said, "Pzaz gives you a quick dopamine kick with some energy. You definitely notice a benefit, but it's not overpowering. The product is convenient and discreet, and it's easy to take as needed throughout the day. The taste is intense but not too intense." He's been using Pzaz a lot, and he's found it useful enough that I will probably repurchase more for him (if he doesn't buy it for himself first). Overall, Pzaz is a really handy product!

I wanted to love this product, but it taste so bad. The sour flavor was really bitter and had the worst aftertaste. I was expecting more of a warheads spray, which this was far from. However, the mint flavor wasn’t bad and did provide a good amount of energy throughout my 14 hour work day. Overall, I think the product definitely has potential and I would consider purchasing again if the flavors were tweaked a bit.

The branding is so fun!! I liked the free pzaz swag i got with my order which made it worth it to me. But the sprays themselves need some work and are really just a novelty. It's more inconvenient to spray your mouth with sticky caffeinated energy mist than just drinking an energy drink. And, there was something wrong with the packaging on all 4 of the sprays I got. It's really easy to open up the bottom part below the sprayer and have the liquid spill everywhere if you're not careful and forget to only twist the cap clockwise. The spray mechanisms stopped working after after a couple of uses and instead just dripped down my hand. The taste isn't great but isn't the most awful thing in the world.
Feedback
Improve the packaging so the spray mechanisms actually work and it's not as easy to spill.
PZAZ has great branding and the idea is original and fun. It's like caffeinated candy for adults - I've tried all three flavours of which Sour Apple is my favourite. It does give you the energy it promises!
Feedback
You should be warned that PZAZ tastes nothing like you'd expect. It's quite bitter and the aftertaste is offputting.
