Great drink

By Barbara Herndon, Westminster, MD, Verified Reviewer

Hint is non-carbonated, full of flavor, has no sugar or artificial sweeteners, and is a total thirst-quencher. I used to make my own fruit-infused drinks. However, using fresh fruit, only to discard it after using it for its flavor, became quite expensive. Hint actually saves me money.

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

Not worth the money

By Sue Lehde, Illinois, Verified Reviewer

It has a plastic aftertaste. Really nothing special. Not much flavor. Pricey. Once you set up a "subscription," it is very hard to cancel.

Get a Nalgene bottle, and use your own water. I have great well water. Or filter your own, add some fresh fruit, customize to your taste, and you are flavor and dollars ahead.

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

Not worth the money

By Kathy Schuler, Abingdon, MD, Verified Reviewer

I can't even say there is a "hint" of flavor. So far I have tried Strawberry Kiwi and Pineapple. They don't taste like anything. Buying this water is a total waste of money. It was delivered by FedEx and left on the first floor by the mailboxes, not to my 3rd-floor apartment. These boxes are heavy, and being a senior, made it very difficult to pick up. I have had FedEx deliveries before where they actually came to my door.

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

Love!

By Audra M., Lago Vista, TX, Verified Reviewer

I absolutely LOVE Hint Water. I have tried so hard to quit drinking soda many times with other beverages and had always failed. I have FINALLY been able to kick soda to the curb for 6 months now all because I found Hint Water. I love the flavors, and it feels refreshing while regular bottled water does not give that clean feeling. I am so glad to have found this!

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

Hint Water taste

By Bill S., New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

I saw Hint Water advertised on the internet and thought I'd give it a shot. I have been consuming flavored water for years and Hint seemed to be appealing. I ordered 3 cases; 1 case of regular and 2 cases of sparkling. I tried the non-sparkling and found the taste to be horrible. The infused fruit flavor was non-existent and the water itself tasted a bit odd. I won't mention the brand names that I often purchase, but they are far superior to Hint. I asked to return the product and was told that because it is a consumable that they could not process my request. I'll use the remaining 35 bottles to water plants in and outside of my home. I would not recommend this product to anyone!

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

Five stars

By Zooey, Cary, NC, Verified Reviewer

This is the BEST tasting sugar-free and sweetener-free water on the market by far!

It' really is addictive, but that's a good thing. All of the flavors taste true to the labeled fruit, and I've finally found a water that I completely enjoy and that is also giving me proper hydration.

I love, love, love Hint Water!

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

They couldn't pay me to drink that swill

By Bonnie S., Georgia, Verified Reviewer

Lousy taste, overpriced, and poor customer service. Check out the lawsuit on undisclosed ingredients. I don't trust them. I have tried both the carbonated and carbonated. The customer service person who responded to my reasonable request was rude and condescending. They don't seem to care if anyone buys. Very arrogant. I decided it is better to use fruit to infuse your own water rather than waste money on their inferior product.

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

What's less than a "hint?"

By Paul Kersey, Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I'm a fan of "experimental" beverages. Why buy Coke, Pepsi, or Lipton Ice Tea when you can try: Pepsi Blue, Clear Pepsi, Sprite Remix, Orbit, DNL, or New York Seltzer. What's less than a "hint." Smudge? Dash? GHOST. That's better, GHOST. Almost felt like taking it to the lab to see if there was anything else but water in there. Three stars because it's water. Water's not bad.

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

Good but definitely not worth the money

By Roger Bean, Ohio, Verified Reviewer

The water is good, but extremely overpriced! I will infuse my own water, thank you. Then again, if you don't have the time and don't mind paying the price, then I would recommend it. The flavors are good, but it lives up to its name; "Hint!"

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

Smells like plastic from the bottle, which overwhelms the potential water flavor

By Susie Qute, North Providence, RI, Verified Reviewer

I ordered on 4/1 and received it today, 4/18 via FedEx. Okay, they ran out. Understood. But there is no flavor. Yes, a very small HINT of flavor but the smell of the plastic from the bottle overwhelms ANY flavor or smell. I hope I'm just super sensitive to it but at $1.75 a bottle that is very expensive plain water in my book. Kudos for the health benefits, which is what I was hoping for, but I can't get past the plastic smell. And I SO wanted to like this product.

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

The Hint Water in 200 ml container is tasteless

By Paul L., Miami, FL, Verified Reviewer

In my opinion, Hint Water advertising exaggerates the taste of its products. I've tried all of the flavors intended for school lunches. Although these Hint Water products are considered to be healthier than other flavored drinks, I've found that all of the Hint Water flavors are tasteless.

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