5 reasons people are carrying their caffeine in a tin
Coffee on the way in. An energy drink at 2. A pre-workout scoop before the gym. Ask yourself how much caffeine that adds up to, and most of us can't answer. Here's why a growing number of people keep a small tin of caffeine strips in their bag instead, and why the number printed on the front matters more than any promise on the back.
The amount is printed on the front
Café cups vary. Cans add volume and sugar. Scoops get eyeballed. By mid-afternoon it's genuinely hard to say how much caffeine you've had.
Every OneStrip Energy strip has 50 mg of caffeine, and that number is printed on the front of the tin, not buried in small print. One strip is one known serving. You can add it to the rest of your day in your head.
Nothing to brew, mix or swallow
No line at the café, no can rolling around the car, no shaker to rinse, no pill to swallow. The whole routine takes three steps:
- STEP 1Open the tin30 individually sealed strips.
- STEP 2Peel a packetOne thin, flat strip inside.
- STEP 3Place it on your tongueLet it dissolve. That's it.
Tip: place the strip on your tongue rather than pressing it to the roof of your mouth.
It's a backup, not a coffee replacement
We're not asking you to give up your morning coffee. OneStrip is for the moments a drink isn't there or isn't what you want. That's also why each strip is 50 mg: a small, measured serving rather than a big one.
Where people keep a tin:
- Before the café opens
- The 3 p.m. meeting
- Between work and the gym
- The airport gate
- The desk drawer
Here's the whole label
No proprietary blend and no mystery amounts. This is everything in one strip:

Questions
Will I feel it?
Each strip has 50 mg of caffeine, about half a typical brewed cup. How caffeine feels varies from person to person, so we print the amount and let you decide. If it's not for you, you have 30 days for a full refund.
Is this a pre-workout?
No. It's a small, measured caffeine serving for moments when a drink isn't handy. Your pre-workout is for the gym; this is for the rest of your day.
How do I use it?
Open the tin, peel open a packet and place the strip on your tongue. Let it dissolve. One strip per day, maximum.
Why does the label say over 41,000% of the Daily Value for B12?
The Daily Value for vitamin B12 is very small (2.4 mcg), so 1,000 mcg shows as a large percentage. 1,000 mcg is a common amount in B12 supplements.
How long does a tin last?
30 strips at one per day maximum. Many people use OneStrip as a backup, so a tin can last longer than a month. If you subscribe, you can skip a delivery anytime.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. Skip a delivery or cancel from your account at any time.
Where do you ship?
