Awesome taste

By Nancy T., West Virginia, Verified Reviewer

I think Hint is awesome and tastes great. I don't know why people are complaining of no flavor, hence the word "HINT." I would definitely recommend it if you're trying to get off soda and want to be healthy. Plain water is awful in my opinion and infusing your own takes time, too much time.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love this water!

By Lacy S., Hattiesburg, MS, Verified Reviewer

I don’t think people understand what the word "hint" means. This isn't supposed to have a lot of flavor, if it did, it wouldn’t be good for you. I really enjoy the flavor of the water personally, it’s not a lot of flavor and I don’t have to worry about the sugar, so it works great for me.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I think they left the "hint" out

By Melinda B., North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

So I ordered this expensive water and it's supposed to be infused with watermelon. I think it's infused with water instead. I even had my hubby taste it and he thinks they left the "hint" out too! But on the good news side, I think the nutrition numbers of 0 for everything is correct. I really wanted to rate it a half of a star but that wasn't an option.

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

A nice hint

By Alex S., Boston, MA, Verified Reviewer

I’ve only had watermelon and black raspberry but they were both really good. I don’t usually like the super sweet-flavored waters because they taste fake but Hint waters aren’t like those. It really is just a hint and I didn’t notice it at first but it has a lovely aftertaste, and once you drink a few sips it tastes stronger. I really recommend this and I’m glad it doesn’t have the weird artificial taste/sweeteners.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Poison

By Kee L., New York, Verified Reviewer

It tastes like chemicals in the aftertaste. I had blackberry. I looked up the real ingredients and now I know I was drinking PROPYLENE GLYCOL! Thank GOD I didn't give the kids any! Now I know why this was only a dollar and change at FIVE below. SMH...

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Great

By John, Orange County, CA, Verified Reviewer

I moved from "healthy" juices and diet sodas to Hint Water. I've noticed a difference in how good my body feels moving away from sugars and artificial sweeteners. Hint is exactly as it's name says, just a "hint" of flavor. So if you're looking for something sweet, this is not it. If you're looking to be healthy but are bored with chugging plain water, Hint and Hint Fizz are the way to go.

Enjoyable alternative to sugary drinks

By Mindy G., Philadelphia, PA, Verified Reviewer

Hint Water has become my favorite flavored water brand. There is an abundance of tasty flavors, so it’s easy to switch things up if you want a change. I’m also a big sparkling water fan, but sometimes I don’t want the fizzy drink. Hint is a great alternative to the fizz without giving up the fun flavors.

Pretty lame

By Yvonne P., Long Island, NY, Verified Reviewer

I bought one bottle in the grocery since I was trying to cut back on the artificial sweeteners. For one bottle they charged $1.50. What! Anyway, stupid me bought it thinking it would be worth it. WRONG. It tastes like tap water with two small drops of fruit juice. Can hardly taste any sweetness/flavor at all. Big waste of money. You can make this stuff on your own and a lot cheaper too. Someone's just trying to make a buck here off the laziness off others. Do it yourself, save your money and keep the added plastic out of the environment

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

Watermelon flavor change

By Sherry F., Boyertown, PA, Verified Reviewer

I don't like drinking water, but found that I enjoyed the Hint watermelon water and have been drinking it for over a year. I subscribed for home delivery and have been receiving it pretty regularly. I noticed when I received the last package that the label had changed, but also the flavoring has changed. Since I had 2 bottles, one from each shipment, I could really taste test pretty accurately to notice a difference. I want to know why they did this? The new flavoring is NOT as good as the old one. What happened? It has an almost artificial taste. If this is what Hint is producing, I will be canceling my order and trying other brands. I am so disappointed. It was such a good product.

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

So refreshing!

By Becki A., Austinburg, OH, Verified Reviewer

I love this water! The first time I tried a bottle of Hint it was just so refreshing. It is so difficult to describe how refreshing this water is! I have been trying different flavors and they are all good. I do have favorites which are the pineapple and the peach flavors!

This water is addicting! Once you try it, Hint is the only water you will want to drink!

I've found different prices at different retailers from $1 - $1.50/bottle. It is a little pricey. I found it on sale for $0.79 one day and stocked up on it!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Taste great but the price, do your comparison shopping

By Nicole L., Las Vegas, NV, Verified Reviewer

Target and once in awhile Sprouts will carry for $1/bottle, which is worth it, but when not on sale, oh boy, IT IS EXPENSIVE per bottle. In these two stores it runs between $1.50 - $1.65/bottle, and then online even with a 10% discount it still runs you $1.66/bottle whether you get a bundle or non-bundle yummy flavors. Not worth it! The kid variety pack is worth the price as you get more water than you the actual cost of the product amount itself and you get if bought in a bundle of three cases and then 10% discount, this is good, but the rest is very expensive.

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