Tried Blood Orange

By Rose, Verified Reviewer

Don't try, too expensive, save your money. It has a plastic aftertaste, pretty weird. Check the expiration date since plastic bottles leak chemicals after time.

Take a bottled reverse osmosis or spring water and add a twist of lemon, lime, orange or add a little juice to it, and it tastes much better.

The ingredients say "purified water." Purified water from where? Blood orange and other natural flavors are from non-GMO plants? What plants? Not from fruits?

People, please read ingredients and fine print before you buy products.

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

Do not buy!

By Janette Koutsouradis, Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I will not purchase it ever again. It is advertised to help you get off soda. Anyone that drinks soda wants sweet flavor. "Hint" is just overpriced water with barely any flavor. Very disappointed. Save your money. DON'T BUY.

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

Save your money

By T Q., Laurel, MD, Verified Reviewer

I do not like the flavor of this stuff at all. I got suckered into ordering this via facebook. I tried three flavors and don't like any of them. I still have at least 85% of the order taking up space in my kitchen. I thought I had canceled out of any subscription that I may have gotten myself in to and yet today, another huge box of Hint Water shows up. Grr! Their website is useless and there is no phone number to call, only a "contact us" form. According to their website, I do not exist which makes it impossible to "manage subscriptions." I'm waiting to hear back from the company and I am hoping they are upstanding and will fix the issue and refund my money. Buyer beware.

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

Charge without permission

By Shawn Hunter, Columbus, OH, Verified Reviewer

I didn't give them permission to charge me $32. They need to refund the money ASAP. Someone was supposed to get a hold of me within 24 hours, but I am still waiting. Hint Water, refund my money, and if you set me up on a membership, cancel it now.

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

Taste like water

By Karleen K., New London, MN, Verified Reviewer

I wish I could say something good about this water, but I can’t. I’ve had trouble with artificial sweeteners and was hoping this product would’ve been my saving grace.

I tried the raspberry infused and it tasted like WATER! Just water. No raspberry taste at all.

I’ve made my own infused water and it tasted way better than Hint.

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

Just water

By Ernest Jansson, Somers, NY, Verified Reviewer

I ordered three cases of Hint Water; one Sparkling Grapefruit, one Watermelon, and one Kick Lemon Cayenne. After tasting all of them, there is no taste in any of them. I don't even think there was a watermelon in the room when they were bottling that flavor.

A total waste of money. I could buy three for $9 bottled water that tastes better than this stuff. Total ripoff. Stay away!

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

No way, it is awful!

By Lori M., Lexington, KY, Verified Reviewer

This water tastes nothing like water. Aall the flavors are very strange versions with a weird aftertaste, also a chemical water taste. None of these are good. The price is outrageous. Also, they smell awful and are way overpriced. Just nasty.

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

It's nothing to rave about

By Sandi L., Texas, Verified Reviewer

Something in Hint leaves an aftertaste and leaves my mouth feeling extremely dry. Like that feeling after drinking cranberry juice or using the sweetener Stevia or chlorinated tap water. It doesn't quench my thirst so I have to keep drinking bottle after bottle and the dryness never goes away. I could taste the hint of fruit flavor, but it needs a little more, and some of the flavors taste artificial. Very unsatisfying.

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

Where’s the flavor Hint

By Stefanie W., Valparaiso, IN, Verified Reviewer

I was very excited to try this water because of its flavored water, zero sugar, and no artificial sweeteners. I ordered two of the flavored waters and one blackberry carbonated water to try. I first tried the pear flavored water that came in my order. It has zero pear flavor at all. It tastes like water, and that’s it. I also after trying that flavor proceeded to try the blackberry carbonated water. Okay, this was disgusting. Carbonated water with a flavor that tastes nothing like blackberry. It was worse than the flavored water. Buyer beware. Big rip off!

Not much flavor

By Michael D., New York, Verified Reviewer

I can taste only a minimal amount of flavor. It's like drinking high priced bottled water. Better plastic bottle is the best I can say about it. Where is the flavor? Not worth the price.

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

Company Response from Hint

Mar 7, 2019

Hi Michael! We're sorry that you didn't love our water the first time you tried it. We often hear that when people are used to drinking drinks that contain artificial sweeteners and preservatives, it takes some getting used to and a few tries to fall in love with the subtle yet delicious flavor of hint. If you ever have the chance, we'd love if you gave us another shot.

Something is wrong.

By Cathie M., Oklahoma, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the 36 for $36. I was really excited and optimistic. I was let down on the first sip. Something is really wrong with this water. Not only is the name Hint an understatement, but the water itself seems thick, granulated, old and stale. It is very unpleasant and even upset my stomach. I will never purchase this water again and what I have purchased is going straight down the drain. Such a shame and waste of money. I really wish items like this were better regulated.

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