Hint is a water with a hint of fruit. It is similar to the new craze of placing fruit in your water to get the taste. The only difference is this takes out that extra step. Most waters have the taste off the bat but many do give you more of an after taste of the chosen fruit. They are great tasting but at the current price of 1.50 a 16 oz bottle, I'd rather create my own. But if someone is trying to quit soda or juice this is a great go to.
