Some context: I wrote about HINT last week, detailing my newfound interest in this popular brand of essence water, which contains no sugar and no artificial ingredients.

There is an obvious exception to this rule: if I love a product, I will do anything to maintain my passion for a specific brand. With HINT, my passion is real and intense for several reasons.
