I know that there are hard rubber like material that were made to strengthen jaw muscles. Licorice sticks might be used too.

  I personally use turkish falim gum, you can get it basically without flavor, it's pretty hard and you can chew on it for >1h without it tasting weird

  glycyrrhizic acid in licorice can drop your blood potassium level and cause cardiac arrhythmia, however, as well as commonly raising blood pressure [1] [1] https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6836258/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6836258/

Hmmm, whoever makes this should also infuse it with carbs so they can also make CHO mouth rinsing claims. Helps to have more than one gimmick in a product.

'Miswak' sticks are popular in the Middle East/Northern Africa. Raw mastic gum seems to be gaining popularity in the US. Neither is popular for the explicit purpose of cognitive enhancement, though.

Yes! You have one on the tip of each finger. Just don't go too crazy because while they're rechargeable, they recharge very slowly.
