Would love to know if anyone has tried Hint Water and what you think of it. I can't stand flavored water with artificial sweetener and don't want something with sugar, and Hint has neither. Aquafina had a similar product years ago that they discontinued. I flavor my water with a little juice now, but I don't like adding that sugar. I'm hoping Hint will give me a bit of flavor without all that nasty stuff, so I'd love opinions from others who have tried it.

    I like it, but it isn't quite like flavored water. The taste is a lot more subtle. I'd compare it more to "fruit infused" water, rather than flavored water, really.

    Yes and I love them. Well certain flavors I like better than others. My favorites are watermelon and kiwi strawberry. My SO loves the pineapple and green apple flavors.

    It's not exactly flavored water. It's more like if you squeezed a tiny amount of fruit juice into a bottle of water. Not really sure how to describe it. They are very taste and not too sweet at all. It's a very very very mild flavor.

    Give them a try. Supermarkets by me usually run deals of 10 for $10.

    I'm waiting for my online order and found it in a local store in the meantime, so I bought a couple of bottles. Good stuff! The flavor is almost like an aftertaste. I appreciate the feedback.

    I love it! Well, the blackberry is my favorite. Watermelon tastes a bit like flowers. I do love the water, though. It gives me a break from plain water.

    I love it but it is way to pricy for me to get often. I have been drinking it for years on and off (again, it is really pricy here) because it is one of very few flavored flat waters that doesn't have any added sugar or artificial sweetener (I can't stand the taste of artificial sweetener - just thinking about it makes me cringe). I prefer to eat my calories (or have a full sugar soda) so that is why I avoid the sugar in most drinks.

    PS - no sweeteners. It's just fruit infused water. So, it's plain water with an essence of fruit.

    Same with me on sugar and artificial sweeteners. I hate the taste of artificial stuff and prefer to spend my calories on other things. Watermelon was what I got at the store, and my online order is for a variety pack. I'll likely cut it with regular to make it go farther and cut the cost.

    wondering if a drop of two of ribena would give the same kind of effect. just a thought, not that anyone asked.

    I just grabbed pineapple today! It's awesome! They now have caffeine-infused water. I grabbed apple pear and lemon cayenne as well in that one. The lemon cayenne is really good! It's got the water with a bit of lemon and then the spiciness of the cayenne without messing with the flavor. So good!!!

    I love them too and the Kiwi/Strawberry is also my favorite! There are a few flavors I would like to try (pear) but I can't find them anywhere around me...They taste so fresh, no weird taste at all. They are more $ than I want to spend but I think of them as a treat and since I don't buy myself coffee in the am or lunch it all works out.

    I tried the Watermelon flavor and I didn't like it at all. The flavor is faint, but it had a disgusting aftertaste. I haven't been willing to try any of the other flavors after my bad experience with the first one.

    Watermelon is awful. I hated that one, but some of the others are really good. Pineapple and blackberry kind of have a sweet aftertaste and not that floral taste that Watermelon leaves behind.

    Oooo, lemon cayenne sounds good! I'm reducing the cost by splitting each bottle with half regular water,

    LOVE the stuff. I bought chocolate and mint extract so I can make my own.

    I'm loving all the Hint flavors that I've tried so far. It does have an aftertaste as some have mentioned, but it's not something that bothers me too much. I cut it with water so I get two or three jumbo glasses of water from each bottle to keep the cost down. It's going to be my go-to now instead of flavoring my water with a shot of sugary juice. It's definitely got me drinking more water. I just hope it doesn't go the way of the Aquafina zero calorie/zero artificial water I loved several years ago.

    Just tried these for the first time this week. I'm drinking the blackberry now. Very subtle. Good change from plain water from time to time.
