Hint water bets on indulgent dessert flavors to recruit new customers

This week, Hint is launching a limited-edition "Treat Yourself" pack of dessert-inspired, zero-calorie waters. The company is betting on indulgent, sweet flavors to drive adoption among young and new customers.

Water brand Hint is launching a limited-edition variety pack of dessert-inspired flavors, allowing customers to have their cake and eat it, too. The new flavors include Key Lime Pie, Strawberry Cupcake, Berry Cobbler and Pineapple Whip, all boasting zero calories, zero sugar and zero sweeteners. The company claims this combination creates a "guilt-free indulgence."

This launch follows a successful summer test run of a Star Spangled variety pack featuring flavors such as Orange Vanilla Swirl, Cherry Berry Burst, Lemon Zest Freeze and Rainbow Sherbert. These nostalgic ice pop-inspired flavors proved to be Hint's best sellers, with the Star Spangled pack becoming the top-selling SKU on Walmart.com and climbing Amazon's sales chart for the brand.

Despite its summer theme, Hint decided to keep the Star Spangled flavors on the market year-round. The positive response to these dessert-inspired options has encouraged the company to create more dessert-themed flavors, capitalizing on the growing demand for indulgent treats without the caloric consequences.
