Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Such a bummer about the taste issues with Metromint - especially with such fantastic packaging. Was it mainly the Peppermint (blue dots) that everyone tried?

All of the flavors actually got good reviews on Bevnet. Here's the link.

To each their own I guess...and at least it's pretty to look at in pictures ;)

luckily I got to try a sample at a store before I purchased. Which I would have b/c of the packaging. To me it tasted like mouthwash. Good for swishing around in the mouth?

Apparently they just came out with chocolate mint. I can only imagine how that tastes.

Love the packaging, but the metromint waters and very strange, the spearmint and pepermint taste like you are drinking gum… it’s strange.

But the Hansen’s cans look awesome!

I agree with Elaine, metromint has super great packaging so much so that I bought three or four of them. However, they really aren’t very tasty!

I love the look of the Hansen’s cans. Very cool. And the dragonfruit flavor sound very intriguing!
