JIMACRO Sports Water Bottle Flavor BOTTLED JOY Drinking Bottles with Flavor Pods, 650ML Scent Water Cup BPA Free 0 Sugar Water Bottle With Straw, Suitable for Gym and Outdoor

I have the more popular/well known version of this bottle and my son wanted the same but I didn't want to invest in it considering he could get bored of it. This bottle seemed to be the next best thing with it's bright colours and similar build/design.The bottle comes in a nice box and is made from quality plastic and thick/solid silicone. The lid screws on and off. It is quite chunky and heavy, but it is leakproof. The mouthpiece is thick silicone and has a ridge that holds the scent pod in place. It is a unique shape which is the main issue I have with this item.Firstly there was only 1 scent pod included with the set. With most of these bottle sets you at least gfet three. Secondly, the flavour of that scent pod wasn't something any kid or even most adults would find appealing, (its elderflower or some sort of other flowery flavour) and just tasted like bad old lady perfume. Third, the shape of the pods is extremely unique to this bottle. I understand this is because they want you to buy their own scent pods but having tried to find more from them; I realised I haven't been able to find more replacement pods. If you don't want to use the generic pod shape like everyone else, then you have to make your own pods are easily available AND have a good selection. But they haven't done that!For the negative exclusivity of the scent pods and the fact it is as expensive as other versions but you get less, I would not recommend this bottle over others.

This JIMACRO sports water bottle is made of food grade Tritan plastic materials. It is safe to use for a wide range of temperatures (-20C-100C). I love the blue and pink gradient of the bottle, it's very calming and pretty and comes with a soft silicone handle for you to hold it with. This bottle innovatively incorporates an aroma ring into the suction nozzle that releases a nice smell. This aroma tricks you into believing you are drinking flavoured water even though it is normal flavourless water in reality. You will be encouraged to drink more water by this fake flavour and it will keep you well hydrated. It is a great companion for when you are jogging or cycling. It is also a great gift to any sports lovers.

I initially thought I was being overly harsh giving this 2 stars, but after some thought I've come to realise that it's probably too fair, let me explain.This just does not work, maybe it works for some people but not for me, Have you ever tried to smell something while you're drinking? It's incredibly difficult, and for me just not possible.Also I'm not sure what market research this company carried out, but why on earth would anybody want to drink something that smells like a peony? I thought that it was a mistake at first in the description, but unfortunately not it's very florally, and honestly I'm glad it didn't work because that would have been strange.The bottle is really nice (though the lid is really heavy and bulky), it's leakproof and has quite a large capacity at 650ml, it also has reminders on to drink throughout the day.Overall this is poorly executed, a little overpriced (though that had no bearing on my review) and is just a glorified water bottle. I don't think the target market is right, and/or it needs a lot more work to make it, well work.Really disappointed as I was expecting great things, but ultimately it's just not worth it. Sorry if you feel I've been overly negative here.

Obviously this product is a "cheap" knockoff of a more well known and popular product, namely the Air Up water bottle. The concept being you attach a flavour pod to the top of the bottle and the scent makes you taste that flavour, even though you're drinking plain water. It's not a trick, there's science describing how scent increases the capacity to taste. Anyway, to the Bottled Joy bottle. First of all, I'm unimpressed. It only gets worse from there.First of all, there's barely any English anywhere, I'm not against products being made in China. Most things are these days, but usually they come bundled with a badly translated set of instructions. This doesn't even have that, so you have to use some sort of translation app after taking photos of everything.Problem One: Pain in the backside to work out what you're supposed to do.Next, attaching a flavour. As this is the latest fad around, predictably my eight year old daughter wants one so I got this for her. It comes with a flavour pod in a packet which is also covered in Chinese. A lengthy translation later tells me it's White Peony flavour. As far as I know, that's a flower that doesn't smell like much but anyway, I don't want to rip that open so I bought a pack of three cherry flavoured pods from Air Up themselves. They don't fit. There's an extra notch on this bottle that the Air Up doesn't have, presumably designed to force you to buy their flavours (which, I guess, is where they make their money). Only problem now is as all the other reviews say, getting hold of these is almost impossible. I was ready to throw the thing out the window at this point until I had an idea. The straw area is made of silicone. I took a knife to it and cut off those extra nibs. The Air Up pod now fits on.Problem Two: Built in incompatibility, and pods are hard to find.So does it work? I can't really tell. I can certainly smell the fragrance from the pod as I drink the water but I wouldn't say the water now tastes of cherry. It makes for a slightly different and gimicky drinking experience but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Also, I now can't give this o my daughter as I've had to take a knife to the flipping thing to get it to work.One final note, the basic Air Up bottle is one pound more expensive than this one (at the time of writing) so my advice would be to go there instead. I imagine it's a much better product that comes with instructions you can actually read, and you can buy some flavour pods at the same time that will actually fit. As for this one, avoid it.
