Hint Water, the review

I am a huge fan of drinking water, and lots of it… I mean I CHOOSE water over other beverages when dining out, as long as the water tastes good. And I have two filtered water pitches at home that get filled 3 and 4 times a day.

So when I was approached by the representatives for Hint Water, to give the product a try, I jumped at the opportunity. After all, it has no sugar (not even artificial sweeteners), no artificial flavors, no preservatives, and zero calories… and it's supposed to taste like fruit.

When the product arrived I tried it warm, straight out of the box. It was okay but I had to wonder, "Will the fruit taste pop more once it's cold?"

So I refrigerated the product overnight, and tried the water the next day and what I discovered is that Hint water definitely tastes better cold. Still, I have to say that it was very difficult to actually taste the fruit flavors.

When you open the bottle of water, the fragrance of the fruit immediately jumps out at you, but when you drink the water, the flavor is so subtle that you almost miss it. Your taste buds know there is something there, but they're not quite sure what it is their tasting and I am not sure how I feel about that.

When I am drinking flavored water, I want to taste the flavor full on. It's one reason I like to squeeze a fresh lemon in my water when I am craving flavor.

And yet, I really have to applaud the company for attempting to create a product that gets our kids off soda and sugar-laden drinks and into drinking water!

One thing I know for sure is that I do not like the watermelon flavor at all. It tasted just like the time I picked a watermelon from our garden before it was actually ripe.

The Strawberry-Kiwi and Pomegranate-Tangerine were my favorite. In my opinion, they had the most fruit flavor.

If you don't like water, this may be a great alternative to high calorie, sugary drinks.
