Lena Jüngst, co-founder of Air Up, said, "We developed the initial prototype as part of our college thesis after uncovering that our unhealthy craving for sugar is connected to our perception of flavor. So, we created a unique mechanism that helps you drink more plain (tap) water by simulating flavor through scent, without having to add all the unhealthy additives in traditional flavored beverages."
