This product Hint has been showing up in my feeds lately. It’s water, but infused with natural fruit flavors, and containing no artificial sweeteners. Kara Goldin, Hint’s founder, got the idea in 2005 when she got discouraged with the content and quality of the products her children were drinking.
I picked up a couple at Publix recently (where they are shelved with soft drinks, not water). I got blood (scarlet) orange and crisp apple. The 16-ounce bottles were $1.84 each.
I’d show you a photo of a glass of it, but it would look like a glass of water. So, just picture a glass of water in your mind. Both flavors I tried were good and authentic. The apple was a little stronger, I think. The orange was more “hint of.”
There is a lot of information at the Hint web site on the purity of the product. It’s vegan, kosher, and GMO-free. If such things add value for you, then you may find Hint an attractive option.
Alas, I don’t really care so much about such things. I’ve begun exploring in earnest how I can eliminate artificial sweeteners as painlessly as possible, but that’s it. I’m getting a little convenience from a bottle of Hint, but that’s really all. I can make my own fruit water much less expensively. (Now admittedly it wouldn’t quite be calorie-free, but it would be close enough for the way I drink beverages during the day.)
So though I think it tastes good, Hint is not a good fit for me for the money. If you are particularly sensitive or allergic to common commercial beverage ingredients, and/or if you politically, emotionally, or spiritually value the purity of this product, then it may work for you. There are specials floating around that can get it delivered to your door for about $1.08 each.
