HINT WATER KICKS OFF “MOMS AGAINST SUGAR WATER” CAMPAIGN URGING SCHOOLS TO ELIMINATE SUGARY BEVERAGES

Leading Healthy Beverage Company Initiates Sugar Reform in Schools

Searching for the #1 Mom Against Sugar Water

San Francisco, CA (February 22, 2010) – HINT Inc., maker of all-natural, great tasting unsweetened essence water, launches the “Moms Against Sugar Water” campaign, their latest initiative to eliminate junk-filled drinks in schools across the country. This month, HINT will host a call-to-action for moms to petition sugary beverages in their child’s school. This forum will allow moms to not only voice their frustrations but also share and obtain information on nutritional changes in local schools.

HINT Water is one of few brands to have success in influencing school administration and penetrating the school lunch system. HINT’s persistence has paid off as many school districts within major states, including New York and California, have made HINT the official healthy beverage replacement for soda. While a major achievement, it’s a small dent when compared to the number of schools still serving high-calorie beverages to students. Through the “Moms Against Sugar Water” campaign, mothers can have a voice and make an impact in eliminating sugary beverages in schools once and for all.

“‘Drink Water Not Sugar’ is the company mantra which reinforces the #1 nutrition rule, ‘Don’t Drink Your Calories,’” says Kara Goldin, CEO of HINT Inc. “The ‘Moms Against Sugar Water’ campaign is our next big bang encouraging healthier options for kids and better nutrition in schools. Now with government funded initiatives like Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” program, campaigns like ours will become even more significant.”

Whether your child can’t go a minute without hitting the vending machine or refuses to drink anything but soda, HINT wants to hear about it! By submitting a wall post on HINT’s Facebook Fan page (www.facebook.com/drinkhint) moms will automatically be entered for the chance to win a year supply of HINT water and a donation of 100 cases to their child’s school. HINT’s team of celebrity nutritionists and fitness trainers will then determine the grand prize winner, “the #1 mom against sugar water”.
