Didn’t like the taste

By Robert F., Edwards, CO, Verified Reviewer

Bought a mixed case from the company on a promotion.

Drank three different flavors. Each left me with an unpleasant aftertaste. I emptied the remaining bottles and sent them to recycling.

I think you should try it yourself and you desire. It just wasn’t for me.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Not what I expected from water

By JL S., New York City, NY, Verified Reviewer

I purchased 3 cases of 3 flavors (watermelon, cherry, and apple) thru the Hint Water promotion. I drank 3 bottles througtout a few hours (more water than I usually drink) and I felt more thirsty. It was a really strange feeling, considering I was drinking water. It's hard to explain.

I drank some regular spring water to see if I felt better and I did.

Hint left me with a dry, dehydrated feeling and I also experienced a bad headache.

The flavor of the apple, cherry, and watermelon are artificial tasting to me, almost like perfume.

I am surprised how much I disliked this water, I mean what's not to like? It's water with fruit flavors that I love. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. I really thought I would love it. It looks like a great product from a great company.

I had some friends try Hint (watermelon and cherry.) I offered bottles to take home and they declined.

Save your money and don't buy Hint.

By Cindy B. , Waterville, ME

I tried Hint because I thought it would give me an incentive to drink more water. Was I wrong! The taste is so artificial. It tastes like the water had been in a plastic bottle left in the sun for days. My sister said it tasted like perfume. I am so glad I bought only two bottles. Save your money and drink water from the tap - it cannot be worse than Hint.

Bought a watermelon flavor to try and tossed it after the first sip. It tasted like they tossed a watermelon rind into a bucket of rainwater.

Hint? More like, "Get a Clue".

By Ed F. , Fort Mill, SC

A misguided and feeble attempt to produce the Holy Grail of waters. The name is inaccurate — it's not even a hint, it's just confusing. The flavors are innocuous — hard to tell them apart, the mouth feel is strange, the smell seems like simply chemicals. You leave wondering if you're detecting plasticizers leaching from the bottle, or something else — but it doesn't taste natural. The sparkling ones are extremely over-carbonated — you crack the lid and end up being sprayed with and wearing the stuff. I bought the 3 cases and I'm tossing it all.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Thought that maybe they were onto, and had something here.

Good idea in concept, failed on the execution.

Flavor selection is uninspiring.

Not what I was expecting

By Dewey J. , Saint Louis, MO

I’ve had many infused waters. This is the worst water I’ve ever tasted. Your commercial leads you to believe that it tasted just like fruit, and based on your commercial, I went to the store and purchased a couple of bottles. It’s overpriced, it tastes terrible. That’s just my opinion, but I would never buy this again.
