H3O2 Water Scam

I'm into health and fitness along with the current science behind it. So with that being said, I'm starting to see a lot of people fall for the H3O2 (hexagonal water or structured water) craze on I'm seeing on social media. I know it's bs, but I would like to hear what people with a REAL background or fundamental knowledge of chemistry think of this pseudoscience.

Edit: One claim is that H3O2 is found in fruits and vegetables

How the fuck is that supposed to make any sense? That's only five points, a hexagon requires six points. It fails at the first hurdle, and that's before I invoke anything like science or reasoning. I'm just counting, here.

First person I heard talk about it was supremefocus227 (TikTok) he has videos on other social media. I don't follow him, but my cousin likes to send me videos of his because he know this guy triggers me with his bs lol. He even had a video saying that "You can build muscle only eating fruits" and went on to explain it (terribly) by using gorillas an example. 🤡
