Let Me Give You A ‘hint’

Several months ago I saw this cool bottle design at the grocery store.  I liked the simplistic nature of the lable and how it worked well with the clear bottle.  I snapped a few pictures of it on my cell phone and went on my way.

Yesterday I was going through my cell phone pictures while at the grocery store and I came across the picture of the bottle.  I remembered that it was in the organic food isle and I saw from the picture that the drink was called ‘hint.’  So I moseyed over to the isle and quickly came across the drink again.

I saw that it was flavored water and I decided to get a bottle to try.  I picked up a ‘mango-grapefruit hint’ and took it home a put it in the fridge.  Now I have gotten around to drinking it.

Let me say that upon opening the bottle, the drink smells great.  A first sip and I was dissappointed.  It had just a hint of flavor–hence the marketing–and a really bad after taste.  After a few more sips it got a little bit better.  But after I went to collect the pictures of the bottle and design, I took another drink and it was really bad again.

I would say stay away from ‘hint.’  Or at least try some of the other flavors.  Viatamin Water of Gatorade would be a good alternative and in the same 1.49 price range.
