Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I am starting to see ads everywhere for coconut water. I tried some the other day and was not that impressed. Maybe there are good health benefits though? It seems as if this came out of no where as I had never heard of it until a few months ago and now there are ads everywhere. I just saw one on the homepage of my email and a billboard went up on the toll way.

What are your thoughts? Anyone tried the different brands and can say if they differ in taste? The one I had was a light blue packaging in a small screw cap bottle. I forget the name at the moment.

Ah, I found it. It was Zico.

Maybe with some rum!!!

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I know straight from the coconut it's supposed to be some of the healthiest stuff on earth, refined and bottled not so sure.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

Haha I like the way you think!

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

Never heard of it.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

...and lime.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I second that... Where do you buy it?

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I believe this was bought at Tom Thumb. But most any grocery store should have them I believe.

Put the lime in the coconut!!

Been drinking coconut juice for years...not for the health reasons, but because I love the taste. :D

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

And mighty tasty too. Have to get the fresh (green) ones though, not the brown.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I tried some a few days ago and thought it was gross. I have been told to try the mango flavored.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I get my coconut from a Mounds bar or coconut rum:)

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I might try it if it does not taste like coconut...

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

No no....Cutty Shark.....trust me

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I tried coconut Ice cream, cheese and coconut milk, but not water yet :)

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

Hangover helper. You're insane if you are paying the zico/major grocer price though. Find an ethnic (honestly don't know which one your shooting for, my wife brings it home) market that has coconut water it will be much cheaper.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I don't dislike coconut flavors however I have never tried coconut water.
It is funny you made this thread, I did just see a chef on t.v. using this as an ingredient and I thought to myself thats kinda odd.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I know for the longest time my parents used coconut water as a natural laxative. I find it amusing that people are drinking this for health reasons. Maybe some of them are just full of crap.:D

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

Hadn't heard about the laxative effects, but did use it while training and during my last triathlon. Had it in my water bottles with some Nuun tabs. Worked well for me, and no runs. :D

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

You ran but no runs. How is that poss......oh nevermind. :r

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

The Zico tastes like crap for some reason and around here there almost $3 a pop. Find yourself an Asian or Mexican grocery and they usually have fresh young coconut for only 99 cents, at least round these parts. Throw it n the fridge for a few hours chop the top stick in the straw and your golden :tu. Plus when you're done crack the coconut on the sidewalk and you have fresh young coconut meat :dr.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I absolutely hate coconut so I will never fall into this fad.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

I might have to check it out. I didn't buy the Zico though I only tried a sip of someone's at the house when they weren't looking haha.

Re: Anyone Else Notice People Going Coconuts?
 

Huge fan, although I didn't like the Zico. I prefer the Vito Coco brand.

I also just got so Coconut Milk pops with are great too! http://www.turtlemountain.com/produc..._org_fudge_bar
