“What happened??? As soon as they changed the labels they all taste different! I don’t believe they’re using natural flavor anymore. Georgia peach tastes like there’s perfume in it and it leaves a weird chemical aftertaste on my tongue. I’m buying old stock at Grocery Outlet and when I run out of that I will be done. I’m so sad. I’ve loved Hint water for years!”
“I love all the original flavors and buy them all the time. I don’t like plain water or the bottling process, so Hint fills the bill for me. I love blueberry and lemon the best.
I have to say that I’m not that fond of the new limited edition ones like lemon zest. Too sweet..”
“I LOVE IT! I like every single flavor, and there’s just enough flavor in each and everyone of them. So much better than sugary drinks like pop that has 50+ grams of sugar. This has enough flavor to where I don’t feel like I’m drinking water when I want to have a flavorful beverage. I’m always looking for a low/No sugar beverage that is not full of chemicals and this hit the spot.”
“I have been drinking Hint since it came out. I love that it isn’t sweet and just the hint of flavor. But the new flavors are terrible & taste over the top! Please bring back the old Hint flavors!”
“I loved fell in love with this drink with the cherry. But the seasonal was a disappointment and this summer was terrible. I gotta pack from Costco’s. It taste like cough syrup has been put in it a whole bunch of water just wasted undrinkable.”
“This has been my sole bottled water at home for a few years. Now all flavors I’ve counted on are gross and I have to find a drinkable brand. Whatever they did was gross. Ridiculous.”
“Hint is all I have drunk since it came out. Sadly the "refresh" has ruined a once great product. Most flavors now have NO flavor while others, like Georgia Peach, leave a nasty perfume like aftertaste. I won't be buying in the future.”
“This used to be my go to drink, loved it. However with the new brand refresh my husband and I both noticed a very big difference in the taste. Way more artificial , way more than just a hint. Bring back the original formula!”
“It now tastes still.I got 2 of the peach one day n it tasted like stale n peach flavor was like rotten peaches.Was gross n then so i tried watermelon same thing the water tastes stake n not crisp n refreshing lk the original.I been buying hint for a yr now n its all i love n now im disappointed because i hate it.Please bring back the original.”
“The bad changes started last year with replacing certain flavors like the Peach with “Georgia Peach. What was a delicious water that tasted like real fresh peach was a horrible perfume-like concoction that tastes NOTHING like peach. So, I stopped buying peach and stuck to the as yet (at the time) unchanged versions of strawberry lemon and watermelon. Well…they changed their packaging to the new blue labels. I didn’t think much of it until I tried them. Almost all of the flavor is now absent. It is diluted so badly that the product no longer is what it once was. After a good 8 years of drinking hint, I’m now buying up the last of the old formulas I can find anywhere…and the. I will stop buying them. Hint was ALL I have drank for years now. So sad that every good thing has to be ruined. Pretty soon, Hint itself will be no longer as they have destroyed their product. Extremely sad.”
“I’m so disappointed. Hint had been my go to drink for several years. I went from not drinking any water to only drinking Hint. After the “rebranding” it does not taste the same and I do not like it. I will not be purchasing Hint anymore. I liked all flavors before… not anymore. I suppose it’s a win since plain water is cheaper anyway.”
“It’s not just the new label that’s bland and artificial, the Crisp Apple and Cherry Hint are flavorless except for their unpleasant aftertaste.
I’m going to miss the old Hint!”
“What does the label say “still” water?
I used to buy cases of it… And I bought a case of the new branded variety pack, and it was disgusting. You’re losing a lot of money!!
Change it all back to the original HINT purified water recipe and process it the same original way. They’re obviously doing something different for it to taste so different!!!!!!! I’m both dismayed and disappointed. Bring back the original formula!”
“There is NO FLAVOR to the grape and other people have mentioned the same for other flavors. Hint lost a customer. I will not buy hint anymore. I also don’t appreciate your chat person stating the formula has not changed. Hint water is no longer worth the cost. Grapes now look like apples.”
“Coconut and watermelon, tangerine and cranberry orange were my faves, i've been buying them for years. The flavors have changed with the new branding and they are no longer just a hint there's basically nothing now. After my supplies run out I will not be buying again. Coconut is the most different that I noticed.”
“Has anyone else noticed a BIG taste difference from last year's Summer Variety Pack to this year's Summer Variety Pack ? Last year it had so much flavor, this year it is SO bland. I emailed Hint & they say nothing changed except packaging. Curious if anyone else noticed the difference.”
“Just had my first "new" Hint water. The watermelon, (my favorite) is DEFINITELY different. NOT pleased.
The original Hint flavors has encouraged more water intake for me for over four years. It's not just a packaging change.”
