Infusions

How incredibly silly it is to drink fruit infused water.
I never understand the reason for it.
Some people say it makes the water taste better. Yeah as if water wasn't already delicious.
What does one do with the fruits that wilt and turn into mush after staying in water for so long?
Throw it away or blend it to make a purée?
I think it's mostly done to take pictures for Instagram because what can be the reason for it?
A slice or two of lemon / lime or stalks of lemongrass or even sprigs of mint is one thing but throwing in slices of watermelons, cucumber, grapefruit, strawberries, kiwi's and what not is verging in extreme stupidity.

The argument I get is that it's fun to drink it this way?
What on earth? Why does drinking water need be fun? It's already wonderful to feel replenished when water enters your body, reconstituting every cell and refreshing, hydrating and making one feel alive.
Fruity water is something of a mystery to me.
