[@Pirateboi-vt5rp]

i think their whole goal here was to provide a "healthier" alternative to other flavored drinks but you can get flavored sparkling water or even carbonated beverages(like Bubbl'r) which have much more flavor and the difference in calories and sugars is miniscule if not completely the same as Air Up. Since i first saw their ads i was super skeptical. They try to make themselves sound really smart and revolutionary but in reality they just stuck scents and water together and thought that it was ingenious. If you really need flavor with your water you can find flavor packets with 0 sugar and 0 calories for infinitely cheaper than their products.

[@RileySerola]

Agreed

[@presentfist1625]

Unfortunately the flavored sparkling waters (most of them) are unhealthy because of the artificial sweeteners used. Apparently Bubbl'r is different tho

[@RileySerola]

Tbh I think those so called sparkling waters should just be called diet drinks because artificially sweetening them makes them no longer water. The flavoured water I'm referring to when comparing to air up is sparkling water with natural flavours of fruit. They taste similar to when you put fruit in your water. Brands like dash, loveau and aqua Libra.

[@littleninja0]

I got one for myself for Christmas and after an initial disappointment, I discovered that I hadn't the straw fully inserted into the mouthpiece - once I did that the flavour was a lot more noticeable (granted some flavours seem very weak, but they were there for the most part).

[@pryt0n180]

What flavour was the most noticeable and the best?

[@littleninja0]

@@pryt0n180 The most noticeable was Cherry which I didn't like at ALL (almost a chemical taste) the rest were a lot weaker, but I found myself quite liking yuzu and rosemary. It's not too overpowering and there's a nice after taste of rosemary off it. I am still experimenting with it if I'm honest. :)

[@RileySerola]

That's interesting cos a few people have been saying that it depends on the flavour you get cos the pods have different strengths. Also heard that some have an awful chemical taste. Got me thinking that I should do another review.

You're welcome and np it's not like sparkling water with flavour. Those brands that sell sparkling water with a hint of flavour are waaaaay stronger in comparison.

[@sourceefive]

i mean its riley’s opinion and it works perfectly for me

[@charlottedriweave937]

I’m just seeing your video today and I haven’t read all your comments, so it’s quite possible that someone may already have mentioned what I’m about to say. I was gifted one of these bottles for Christmas and like yourself, at first, thought it wasn’t working. So I scoured KZbin as you do and found a video of a guy who was reviewing the bottle. It was only after watching the at I realised you have to pull the filter thing right up so that that when you sip through the straw the water makes a bubbling sound, which in turn sucks air up at the same time. THEN you get the FULL aroma of the filter pod. Seriously. It really DOES work. Hope that helps.

[@RileySerola]

😄 so that bubbling sound isn't audible in the video but there was a bubbling sound. Thoroughly watched lots of videos before making two videos of my own. It just doesn't work for me. In the subsequent video I made I tried a lot of different flavours. All very weak.

[@TrebbyTheTreeboy]

Thanks for the review! I've also heard that you don't actually tilt the bottle when you drink it. Either way, Thank you for the honest review!

[@RileySerola]

Yes that's correct because if you tilt the bottle the water doesn't get sucked through

[@LJ-G1NGE-Editzzz]

He means the flavour won’t be in reach with your nose 😊

[@RileySerola]

@@LJ-G1NGE-Editzzz no that's not what I meant. If you tilt the bottle it's at an angle where the water inside moves away from the straw. Remember the straw doesn't move around, it's fixed in one spot. So tilting will effect the water being sucked through the straw. The vapour which creates the flavour is just the process of water flowing through the straw when the pod is activated.

[@SimonLeeth]

Yeah, I fell for it too. It's mostly air. I'm trying to drink, not confuse drinking with breathing.

[@RileySerola]

Well, I have tbh. When I first heard about air up I was really intrigued but when I heard the price tag was not for it.

And did it work for you?

[@josephbojda9974]

Its not meant to be a strong taste. If you read their website it's just supposed to be a hint of the flavor you're using.

[@RileySerola]

I understand that but the taste is extremely faint. That's my point.

[@pratyushkasi7848]

Hi! I have a quick suggestion, I have many friends who have it and they use the plastic bottles and not the new steel ones. And Im quite sure you have to pull the pod up and not press it down. Like you press it down and then u pull it up and then you drink. It really works very well. Im not sure if its because of the steel bottle or you haven't pulled it up

[@nimrit-l1l]

Ye

[@RileySerola]

If you watched the video properly you will note that I read the Air Up Instructions right out of the box. The whole point of pushing it down is just to ensure the pod is fitted on the bottle properly. You lift the pod up to activate the flavour and you push it down if you don't want any flavour.

[@pratyushkasi7848]

@@RileySerola Yeah Im sorry, I watched the video again and saw that you're activating the flavours by pulling it up. maybe it doesn't work as effectively as the plastic ones? Sorry once again!

[@pratyushkasi7848]

@@RileySerola Maybe you can make a video with the plastic bottle? Just a suggestion...

[@tylerseabook9423]

@@pratyushkasi7848 dumbest thing I’ve read all day, aluminum or plastic isn’t gonna make a difference. It’s a gimmick in your friends are lying to you. 🤦‍♂️

[@10dailyfacts123]

Its supposed be with bubbles when activated and you can hear the bubbles so I don’t think you did it right

[@RileySerola]

Listen, just because my mic didn't pick up the bubbles doesn't mean there were no bubbles. There were bubbles. I did a second video trying many different flavours and same result.

[@lqfoods5466]

Did you open the pods seas

[@RileySerola]

Pods seas???

[@alexleonard6281]

This is a very professional video

[@RileySerola]

Much appreciated.

[@UHFStation1]

Good review. Wonder what actual science is behind this.

[@RileySerola]

Thanks

[@dbuc4671]

I never saw any ads for this product but heard about it through a video that had been sponsored by it lol. I never buy any sort of artificially flavoured stuff, but I just searched it up cuz it seemed interesting xD

[@RileySerola]

Well technically it's not artificially flavoured as nothing extra is going in the water you drink. Just artificial aromas but in my opinion it does a poor job

[@ace-90s21]

Make this top comment ⚠️⚠️ The pods he used are expired but when they expire they don’t go poisonous they lose their flavour the 2 pods that come in the box are almost always expired if you read the email they gave when you order it says exactly what I said and it not even fine print I bought the same bottle

[@RileySerola]

FAKE NEWS!. I've just checked the pods right now. I still have em as I gave the bottle to my wife. I have one pod that expires this December and another in October. Maybe they cheated you but it doesn't apply here.

[@ace-90s21]

Genuinely read the email that gave you when you bought it I bought mine this morning I’ll copy paste

[@ace-90s21]

Because we’re trying to be as sustainable as possible, your bottle is going to come with a little extra that you didn’t order. Long story short, the bottle you’ve ordered is pre-packed with a Cherry and Peach pod that, by the time they reach you, will be past their best-before date. The great news is that these pods are still perfectly fine to use! Because, when our pods go out of date, the flavour just becomes less intense than other pods. But, even better, these pods are extra on top of your order. It’s a win for you, a win for us, and a big win for sustainability! We hope you enjoy your order, and we can’t wait for you to receive your bottle and pods. We hope you’re as excited as we are!

[@ace-90s21]

This is only about cherry and peach pods

[@SEondmic1]

I could feel the genuine disappointment in the product 😂😂

[@RileySerola]

😂😂😂 you know me all too well SE

[@ericabalko916]

So my son got one today. It doesn’t work for him. I tried it and it tastes SO strong to me! Maybe this is a hit and miss product? Some ppl it works some it doesn’t. Weird. I taste it very strong and the taste makes all my taste buds tingle. The flavor lingers for me too. Bizarre bc my son says he barely tastes anything.

[@ericabalko916]

ps I am a real person no lie it works for me.

[@RileySerola]

I actually believe you. I have an upcoming video that addresses this.

[@Artzie2]

should I buy this?

[@RileySerola]

Well it's up to you but going by my experience I'd stay away

[@Artzie2]

Oh okay, by the way.. Thank you for being so responsive to your community! @@RileySerola

[@RileySerola]

@@Artzie2 it's one of the things I love most about KZbin. Interacting with people.

[@amandaowens1675]

Try Cirkul it more flavor you can adjust it

[@RileySerola]

Here in the UK we can't get hold of it without paying dumb shipping fees

[@debbiepirkis2363]

It does work u just have to peel the open dot on the mouth peice then it works or u just don't have a strong sense of smell.

[@RileySerola]

Well glad it works for you so well. As I mentioned in the video I can get a sense of taste but it's just very weak. Way in the background. I also think the way they have marketed it is misleading as most people would assume they will get a fruity burst of hydration.

[@ukreal1london]

I can smell the scent, and actually I don’t like strong taste, but what drives me crazy as the straw it feels like the straw has a hole in it - Anyway, I love your review from a fellow brit on. One good thing because I live in the states at least it doesn’t have any Red number 40 in it 😂😂😂

[@RileySerola]

You know the thing about the straw is annoying. I should have mentioned that.

[@Ax0lotl3]

Maybe look if the straw is all the way in bc maybe that’s why

[@RileySerola]

Not sure if you watched the whole video but I did demonstrate that the straw was in properly.

[@Monkey13-r2j]

Part of taste is the food particles coming through you mouth and you nose. This might work better if you breath through your nose from the flavoring and then sip.

[@RileySerola]

No that doesn't work because you can't smell anything when you're about to sip the water. Your nose has to be right up against the pod which is impossible when sipping. And no human can sip and breathe at the same time.
