Once upon a time, you wouldn’t be caught dead without a soda in hand. Thankfully, since then, you've grown up. The problem though is you can't stand to have plain water all the time and most flavored water is full of chemicals and/or sugar.

Solution: Drink HINT water. This line of purified water has just a hint (hence the name) of a wide variety of natural flavors - and they're tasty! Did I mention, there are no sweeteners, no preservatives (absolutely nothing artificial) and no calories (nada, zip, zero)? That's my kind of water!

Choose from lime, pomegranate-tangerine, cucumber, mango grapefruit, tropical punch and pear. The cucumber and lime flavors were my favorites - that is, until their recent addition. Yes, my pals over at HINT have outdone themselves. They will soon be making available four new flavors: blackberry, watermelon, honeydew hibiscus and my favorite hibiscus vanilla, quite honestly the most original beverage since the introduction of flavored water. In fact, the essence of vanilla left in your mouth afterwards feels like you just ate dessert (my 5 year old son requested I put a bottle in his lunch box today). I'm not sure when this flavor will be available, but I'm telling you it's great!

You can find HINT in specialty markets, fine spas and luxe hotels in your area. Or simply visit DrinkHint.com and have a couple cases delivered directly to your door.

It's definitely not boring and it’ll keep you from reaching for that soda.

So go ahead (take a chance) and test the waters.
