Back when we started Hint in 2005, our motto was Drink Water, Not Sugar. Our mission to this day is to help people fall in love with water—delicious, fruit‑infused water—so they can live healthier lives.

Twenty years on, we've attracted our share of imitators, but no one has been able to match that touch of true fruit flavor in every bottle of Hint. The craftsmanship we put into creating flavors that fully reflect their fruit origin is unparalleled. With no sweeteners, no preservatives, and zero calories, it is no wonder our fans have turned Hint into an obsession.

Today, Hint is sold in over 30,000 stores all over the United States. We feature dozens of amazing flavors—including perennial favorites Blackberry, Watermelon, and Cherry—as well as limited‑edition smash‑ups and exclusive bundles, all available at , Amazon, e‑Retail account, and major retailers.
