As per the title really. Bottle has a scent capsule so although you're drinking plain water, you still get a flavour.

Daughter is after one and I also quite like the idea, although at over £30 for the bottle I'm reluctant to get one if it's crap.

You could just buy diluting juice/cordial/squash?

Bought my niece one for Xmas, i think it was too expensive but thats what she wanted.

Apparently she's drank from it every day since, which can be no bad thing i guess.

Definately a marketing hype type product though, there is nothing really special about it at all

My kids have them, I agree they're expensive - the capsules aren't cheap either. I seem to remember they took a long time to arrive - but this was a year ago.

One thing, is the top doesn't screw on - it just pushes on - so they can leak if left in a school bag.

However, they enjoy trying the flavours out and it does (I think) encourage them to drink more which is something.

My 2 kids bought their own around 6 months ago - one still uses it everyday, the other bottle sits in the cupboard.

Clever system that does work, worth noting the bottles are quite tall.

Oh my, I don't mind a frivolous purchase, but these are beyond my marker biggrin.

Interesting though, shows how much of our 'taste' comes from smell. We'll all know this from when we have a cold of course.

I grabbed this aspirational picture from their site - it's so good you'll want to spit it out to show it!
