The lemon makes the water, esp. in So. CA, easier to drink.
perhaps one could choose to live in a place where the water and air doesn't make one ill.
he'd have nothing to Kap (Yap) about
Yeah, life would be so bland.

The East Bay area here has very good water quality.
And a lemon slice in the glass still makes it even more pleasant to drink. And it keeps the ice cubes from hitting my teeth.
Nice taste, eliminates a minor annoyance. Well done, Lemon Slice.
Given the amount of outbreaks of disease due to lemon slices in water, I'd say people have a lot more to worry about, especially if they knew how bad bacteria levels can really be, compared to lemon slice contamination.
Cucumber slices in water? I've never heard of that. Nice eye appeal, but I can't imagine how the water would taste.
Oh, and pet peeve- cucumber slices with the peel left on. Not that I'm worried about catching Jumping Pellagra from the peels, I just don't like the look, taste, or texture of that garnish.

To help one's metabolism try a glass of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. For better digestion, either a slice or a glass of papaya juice.

My wife loves the lemon. She eats the one in her glass and steals mine.
And, she is still alive!

I like a slice of lemon in sparkling water.
In Europe, soft drinks suck as coke are often served this way too.
Ands in Germany with the Weiss beer...
