Food Grade Scent Water Flavor Pods and Bottles: Sipperment

I Tried Alix Earle's Favorite Water Bottle, and I Get the Hype

My discovery of the Air Up water bottle followed a familiar pattern in the digital age – TikTok. What began as a single video on my "For You Page" (FYP) soon spiraled into a captivating trend. Even the popular Alix Earle became a part of the movement, declaring in a sponsored TikTok that the Air Up bottle miraculously transformed her from "the worst at drinking water" to "Miss Hydration." Surprisingly, she's not alone in her enthusiasm; even Kim Kardashian was seen with an Air Up water bottle during a jog on a Peloton Tread, accompanied by Ashton Kutcher and instructor Robin Arzón.

What sets this bottle apart? It reimagines the way we infuse water with flavor. Instead of directly adding a flavor booster to the water, the Air Up introduces "flavor pods" that gracefully slide over the mouthpiece. As you take a sip, your senses are tantalized by subtle aromatic notes – a clever illusion that convinces you that you're savoring flavored water.

As someone who still cherishes her La Croix, occasionally downing a six-pack in a day, I've had moments of pondering the enigmatic "natural flavorings" lurking in some canned seltzers. Air Up seemed almost too good to be true. So when the brand extended an invitation to explore their bottle, I eagerly embraced the chance to embark on this "sniff 'n' sip" adventure.

What I Like About the Air Up Water Bottle

First things first – the bottle itself. I went for an eye-catching pink model (matching Alix Earle's choice). Crafted from robust frosted plastic (BPA-free Tritan, according to the Air Up website), it features a rubber mouthpiece that connects to the straw and a practical cap for when you're on the move. The straw ensures dependable suction, allowing you to enjoy every last drop of water, and the wide mouth simplifies cleaning.

Yet, the true star of the show is undoubtedly the scent. Does it truly enhance your water-drinking experience?

What's Worth Noting About the Air Up Water Bottle

It did take me a little while to grasp the ins and outs of using the flavor pods and to get used to the air bubbles they create when activated. While the bubbles are intended to be part of the experience, they might initially make it feel like the water flow is stuttering, especially when sipping on seltzer. However, within a day or so, I stopped noticing it so much and was able to just enjoy my "flavored" water. Some flavors stood out more than others (lemon was a hit; basil was almost overpowering), but every pod delivered a robust taste.

It's also on the pricier side of the water-bottle spectrum. The cheapest starter kit, which comes with a bottle and a pack of three flavor pods, will run you about $40; if you opt for a more expensive color and flavor, it could total $50. Subsequent three-packs of pods cost $8 each. Cheaper than a six-pack-a-day La Croix habit, for sure, but still a cost worth considering.

The pods are made of plastic, too, which is worth noting for eco-conscious water lovers, although Air Up notes that the exterior of pods are made from recyclable materials, while the interior is made from polyester. The pods aren't reusable, but Air Up states that refilling their water bottle will save you from adding single-use plastic water bottles to the landfill.
