Scent-Based Flavored Hydration Straws

The air up® Straw Set Can Be Used with Any Vessel

The air up® Straw Set has been created to help extend the brand's scent-based hydration technology to any vessel to maximize ease of access and use.

The system works with a reusable Tritan straw that can be positioned into a compatible tumbler or quencher vessel where it will work with one of the brand's scent pods. This will immediately transform water into a flavored drink by harnessing the power of the olfactory system with more than 25 flavor options to choose from. The various pods are formulated with natural scents sourced from fruits and herbs, and will work for up to five-liters of water.

The air up® Straw Set expands on the brand's scent-based flavored water technology to extend beyond proprietary vessels to maximize uptake.
