Love it

By Lauri W., Richmond, VA, Verified Reviewer

I have found HINT water at Wegman's and at ALDI's grocery stores for $9.99 a case. I enjoy trying all of the different flavors. I got really bored with drinking plain water and was probably chronically dehydrated. Drinking the HINT water has helped me give up soda and drink water on a daily basis.

I have tried some of the flavored waters from other companies and not been as impressed with the flavors.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

No artificial colors or sweeteners

Variety of flavors

I wish that the water came in larger sizes, such as a gallon size of the different flavors

Cost

By LaVera K., Wisconsin, Verified Reviewer

I was never much of a water drinker. Hint is delicious and now I drink more. I feel with obesity being overwhelming in the US...make it more affordable for people to drink. It made me drink water again...so healthy for overall health. Cut the price to affordability...

Very very slow shipping

By Mike W., Nampa, ID, Verified Reviewer

I ordered, 7 days later no shipping. Order today, ship tomorrow should be the standard.

Seven-day shipping time is just plain stupid business. Plenty to pick from in the store.

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

Pros and Cons

No “pros” were specified in this review

I'd turn back if I were you!

By Lydia D., Florida, Verified Reviewer

Ordered 3 cases of flavored water, then tried the "sparkling" version. Even after letting them sit for days before opening they EXPLODED and had no flavor. When I tried to contact Hint, they said no refunds, so I am stuck with 36 bottles of explosives. They offered a $10 credit but said it couldn't be used on sale items or subscriptions. They sent an email saying 1 day only to order and when I tried no link came up. They have multiple agents that type responses and one agent wrote that my $10 coupon code had been used last month. I had to explain I just received it 2 days ago and it was issued for a problem, not a discount I had used previously. She apologized for her mistake and then I was told to use it at check out. This process has been confusing and irritating. NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.

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

Won't give a refund

By Richard S., Henderson, NV, Verified Reviewer

I was looking for something to maybe kick my soda habit so I purchased three twelve-packs, 1 Cherry, 1 Apple, and 1 Blackberry. I tried 1 of the cherry and it was awful, it had a chemical taste (don't know what chemical) so I shook it up and made no difference. I decided that I would not try any of the other flavors. I decided that I would request a refund of my $36.00 but I was told by Ashley that since what I purchased was consumable that they could not accept returns and my purchase was not refundable.

So I am out of luck.

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

The no flavor water

By Jim O., Racine, WI, Verified Reviewer

Bought for the first time today in the small juice box type container. Ended up throwing away the entire amount. Absolutely flavorless. Waste of money. Not sure how many more ways that can say this product is horrible tasting. Not sure why anyone would buy it more than once.

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

IN LOVE!

By Patty S., Emerald Isle, NC, Verified Reviewer

I wanted to eliminate sodas and such. I don't like plain water and I detest sweetener aftertaste. This is completely refreshing and tasty. I cannot get enough. All the local stores can't keep it on the shelves so I order it directly from the company so I can get my fix.

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

Yum

By Cindi M., Louisville, KY, Verified Reviewer

I have tried so many different popular brands of flavored water and they are all disgusting to me. I ended up giving them away to people who LIKE to drink hairspray. I love Hint because it is NOT carbonated and there is just enough flavor to make it drinkable (unlike plain water, gross!). Cherry is my choice, I’ve tried the apple but don’t like as much as the cherry. The only thing I don’t like about this water is the price, which is why I have had the chance to sample the other flavors...just can’t afford to pay that much for one bottle of water! (Target retail is $1.69 per bottle.) I would be willing to pay no more than $1.00 per bottle but you have to buy in bulk to get that rate.

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

Nasty

By Claudia F., Winter Haven, FL, Verified Reviewer

So I purchased a few of these to try. Nasty. I bought them in my local store. The flavor is so artificial-tasting it's pathetic. When I googled "what is fruit essence", here's what I found.

The Fruit essences are intended for aromatizing of non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, sweets, chocolates and confectionary and pastry. The Bulgarian State Standard defines the fruit essences as highly-concentrated solutions. The solutions used in the manufacture of the fruit essences are ethyl alcohol and 1, 2-propyleneglycol.

So no, it's not all-natural like they claim. Wish I would have saved the $1 a bottle I spent. You'd do better juicing real fruit and pouring it into your water. At least you'd get the vitamins and minerals from it. Yes, the NATURAL sugars as well but at least it would be NATURAL.

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

Very refreshing, but...

By Tracye L., Pinckney, MI, Verified Reviewer

...something about the lid not wanting to go back on, ever, after opening it for a quick quench bothers me. Maybe a lid that doesn't come off, like a sports-type lid that's re-closeable quickly.

Feels like I'm stripping the threads of the bottle with the twist cap.

Other than that, this water hits the spot every time. Not a "hint" flavor I wouldn't drink. Here's to ya!

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