This has been going on for a few years now. It's always been around but now there are even special water bottles for it.

And a lot of hotels have water with an orange in it, or a lemon, stuff like that. It's kinda annoying when I just want plain water but can't find it among this fruit infusion water.

Interesting little fad, made me wonder if there's anything to its supposed health benefits or if it's the time they kept claiming certain berries were "superfoods" and whatnot.

It tastes like shit too. I'd prefer normal water if I had to choose.

Marriott eh? Not really unsurprising, all things considered.

Eh, it's been a thing for awhile, tbh. It would work better if they first heated up the water so they could steep the fruit, like tea or coffee. Then they could ice it down so it'd be tasty.

A fresh lemon slice in a glass of water tastes great.

Water with any type of fruit/lemon flavoring tastes awful though.

Lemon or lime is fine. Otherwise it's a waste of fruit.

"Infused" is a nice buzzword and has been used to sell things for the past 5years or so.

Some water-infused fruit flavor drinks are ok, but a few taste like shit.

I've seen people use slices of cucumber for the ultimate non-taste difference.

Yeah cucumber water has been around since those spa scenes in shows and movies. It probably precedes all this.
