Water bottles have evolved beyond being a simple vessel for H2O, now serving as a fashion statement expressing the latest trends in hydration. The Air Up is the newest addition to the water bottle world, designed to enhance the taste of water without adding any flavor. By using scent pods near the nozzle, the Air Up activates your sense of taste, providing a unique drinking experience.
The Air Up comes in various models, including stainless steel and hard plastic options in a range of sizes and colors. Prices start at $32 for the water bottle, with additional costs for pods. Setting up the Air Up is a straightforward process, with the main task being attaching the scent pod near the nozzle.
The company claims that the Air Up’s patented Scentaste technology tricks your mind into thinking you’re drinking flavored water by stimulating your sense of smell. While testing the Air Up, I found that drinking with an activated pod indeed provided a unique experience, with slurping sounds indicating the activation of the pod. The flavor pods, available in various scents, are said to last through several refills of the water bottle.
Overall, the concept of the Air Up is intriguing, providing a different taste experience through scent and straw-sucking alone. While some may find the flavors too strong, the Air Up aims to encourage increased water consumption through this innovative approach. However, the experience may not be for everyone, particularly those sensitive to strong scents or flavors.
Ultimately, the Air Up offers a novel way to enjoy water, blending taste and smell in a unique drinking experience. Whether you’re looking to switch up your hydration routine or simply want to try the latest trend in water bottles, the Air Up may be worth a sip.
