Not too bad [Posted on 2008-05-09]
I'm not a big fan of strawberry, but I got it for my wife and she likes it. It takes about 3 squirts to flavor a 12-16oz glass of water. With that in mind, you're looking at about 30 glasses worth per $5 bottle. So, I'd say to save the flavor for when you're not thirsty so that you can savor it.

Yay, now you can clean your water and add junk back to it! [Posted on 2008-05-20]
I just tried this at a friend's house and the strawberry flavoring was just horrible. If you have any appreciation for good food and beverages, you will not like this. It was so artificial tasting that I couldn't have more then the one sip. Strawberry is a hard flavor to mimic. If you've ever had strawberry flavored lip balm, candy, or something like that, you'll know what I mean.

This product is such a bad idea. If the goal is to filter out chemicals from your water why would you want to put more back in??

I use the plain 3 stage Pur filters on my faucet and they are great for making my tap water completely flavorless, the way I like it. (Although I really question the quality of the actual faucet mount and how it's priced.)

If you want strawberry flavored water, buy a bunch of real strawberries on sale (or whenever if you can afford it), when they're ripe, wash and chop them and keep them in the freezer. Use a few pieces like ice cubes. Then you'll also have a tasty and healthy thawed out treat at the bottom of your cup to look forward to as reward for drinking your water. I also do this with pretty much any fruit I have that I fear might go to waste, but I also like my water just fine plain.

Water really is addicting once your body gets past the shock that it's sugar-free, fat-free and calorie-free. I can't imagine that adding stuff like this to water will help your body crave it.

Buy Your Own Flavor [Posted on 2008-08-17]
When a company rushes out with something that doesn't even fit well into the pitcher, doesn't dispense very well, is artificial flavor and is grossly expensive, it simply means more planning was necessary before launching such a venture! The PUR filter systems still don't remove fluoride, unfortunately, so people with heart problems and such probably should stick to bottled water. In the meantime, if you want taste, by some fruit juice at the store and add a dash to each pitcher full.

Luv this stuff [Posted on 2008-09-01]
Oh, this is great compared to what came from the tap before. Try it I think you will also like it.

Pur Flavor Cartridge 2-pack [Posted on 2008-09-30]
I really love the flavor this puts into the filtered water. I am disappointed that they don't work well half way through their use. They are not clogged, they just don't squirt out like they do when they are first opened. I find I have to squeeze them by hand to get the few drops needed to flavor the water.
