What’s the controversy surrounding ‘spa water’ on TikTok?

Norton has since deleted the original video, but in it, she described “spa water” as a drink made with blended cucumber, water and sugar. In this clip, the user @strawberrryc0ugh reacts to Norton’s video by cringing. “They are now gentrifying agua fresca,” a user said in a stitched video by @itsdonutshole. “They’re calling it spa water.” The cause for the controversy is that spa water is actually just agua fresca, a classic Mexican drink with Aztec origins. Norton’s video received enough criticism for her to remove the clip and apologize. That’s likely because her behavior is not in a vacuum.
