Stay at home mom.
I got this product a couple of days before Mothers Day at Wal-Mart. I was happy to see it there as I had wanting to try it for a while. It came with two sips. I purchased a Black Cherry. I started using it on Mothers Day. I love it! I am not a water drinker at all. I don't drink full bottles, but with this product I do. I'm not quite there yet, but am drinking much more than I have before. The flavor is perfect. I have mine set to 2, sometimes I do 3. Any higher than 3, is just too much. Many other water add in products are comparable to a 3 to 4 and some are 1 to under 2. The bottle has a great shape and provides a good grip. I don't like chunky drink cups. My only issue so far with the product is the cap. There is a bump out on the side to hook the cap onto, but it pops off occasionally which is annoying. Thankfully, I pushed it down a bit more and don't mess with it, so its good atm. A downside I found is that, I don't like that they use sucralose in their flavorings. Its not a good sugar additive and many people don't feel good after using food products w/this additive in it, like me. I recently found out they supposedly have product with Stevia and some with no sweetener, so I'll need to find those. I don't think I can keep using the sucralose flavorings for too long. They need to find new packaging. Although its pretty and all, its a big waste of materials. The box is 11.5" x 6" x 3.5", its a bit on the heavy side at 1.1oz w/only the sips in it. It came with one bottle and 2 sips. It opens from the side w/a magnetic closure. Magnets are expensive. There is no need in all that. They need to figure something else out. I cant see how this is economical at all.
