My FYP must know I'm constantly forgetting to drink water, because every other video on my feed is about Cirkul's water bottle. I thought the algorithm was just REALLY on to me, but then I discovered that the #cirkul hashtag has more than 1.5 billion views—so it's safe to say people everywhere are collectively freaking out.
Why would the internet be going wild over a water bottle, you ask? Cirkul flavors water via flavor cartridges, called Sips, which piqued my interest even more. After trying it, I honestly loved it more than I thought I would, and here's why:
Bye, chunky powders and messy liquids—Cirkul's Sips keep your bottle clean, not crusty
Co-founders Andy and Garrett dreamt up Cirkul after attempting to pour a sports drink powder into a narrow mouth water bottle and making a total mess. Isn't this a pain point we all share? Firstly, you have to remember to bring the powder packet with you. Then, you pour 20% of it into the bottle and 80% onto the floor. And even if you had a spoon, the chunks wouldn't mix all the way. To top it all off, your water bottle gets all gross.
Cirkul has a flavor cartridge that easily screws right in and off–no aggressive stirring involved! Just fill your bottle with plain water, pop in a cartridge, and turn the flavor intensity dial on the mouthpiece. Yup, you can choose your intensity from 1-10, depending on how flavored you want it.
And with DELICIOUS flavors like Orange Tangerine, Strawberry Watermelon, Mixed Berry, and even Peach Tea, I do a happy dance every time I hydrate. 🍉🍓🍑
Cirkul is a better alternative to juices, sports drinks, and sodas
If you often turn to soda, juice, and sports drinks because you crave a refreshing liquid that ISN'T plain water, Cirkul is right up your alley. Well, hydration is essential, and Cirkul has cracked the code on good-for-you beverages that aren't loaded with sugar and calories. Cirkul is sweetened with stevia, not sugar, and no calories or artificial colors!
Each Sip flavors about 6 water bottle fill-ups, and each Sip can last around 10 days, so you can experiment with their 100+ flavors. For a boost, many of their delicious flavors include B vitamins, electrolytes, and caffeine. My current hyperfixation is Pink Lemonade—it's perfectly tart and sweet.
Cirkul's Sips cost less than iced teas, kombuchas, and $7 coffees from Starbucks ☕
Here's where it gets good. Each Cirkul Sip costs $3.75, and it lasts for about 6 fill-ups, depending on the intensity setting. That's around $0.67 per bottle fill-up.
Compare that to the cost of...
- Iced tea: $2.75
- Kombucha from the grocery store: $3-4
- A Pumpkin Spice Latte: $5-6
And what really makes it affordable are the discounts you'll get when you use Cirkul's Bundle Builder and auto-ship feature. Choose a plan that ranges from an 8 cartridge pack to 100, and save up to 35% in the process! Just choose your quantity and your flavors, and they'll ship to you every month (get free shipping over $15).
Cirkul makes water fun for anyone, anywhere: bring it to the park, the gym, or to work
There's a reason Cirkul is so loved: there's a flavor for every occasion, age, and mood. Trying to get your picky young one to hydrate? They'll love the kids' Wild Splash flavors like Bear Berry and Alligator Apple! Fuel your gym workouts with electrolyte-enhanced FitSips, or caffeinate at work with the Hazelnut Iced Coffee flavor.
More benefits? No lugging around any heavy sports drink bottles! Cirkul lids conveniently fit on many wide-mouth bottles like Hydro Flask, Nalgene, Contigo, and CamelBak, so it's not a dealbreaker if you don't want to buy the bottles.
If you haven't noticed, Cirkul is worth the hype—and then some
I can't lie—I thought this was just another TikTok gimmick, but the flavors are delicious, it's a better alternative to sodas and juices, and it's cost-effective. I'm basically saying that you need to hop on the Cirkul train immediately... you won't regret it!
