TikTokers went viral after testing out the claim’s from the company in their videos and filming their live reaction. One user got hugely excited after adding a peach flavor and twisting up the dial to level 2 for flavor and exclaimed ‘Hello!!” before adding that she thought it tasted just like peach iced tea.

Another TikToker tried the coffee version and claimed it tasted exactly like drinking iced coffee.

Some of the comments on the videos mocked the idea that people will do anything not to drink just straight water, while others lauded the fact that anything to encourage people to stay hydrated can only be a good thing.
