I didn't like it either. I saw everyone drinking it and thought I would give it a try. Not worth the 3 dollars I paid for it.0

Yep, pretty nasty. Also I don't like to drink my calories unless it's booze.
I never understood what the obsession was with that stuff.0 -

Yep. Barf.0

When I was in Hawaii last summer at a local farmers market a guy was preparing fresh coconuts from drinking from so I figured when in Rome I'd drop the $5 for a fresh coconut. NOT WORTH IT! It was so gross but I put on a brave face and suffered through it. I'll stick to regular water, it's worked for humans for eons

what? I love love love coconut water. I like the Harmless Harvest brand, but I can't afford to have it regularly. Of course the best coconut water is straight from the coconut. If you can find coconuts at your local market you should try it.
That said there are a bunch of crappy coconut waters on the market now, since they've become so popular.0 -
Maybe that's it0

Like @augustremulous said fresh coconut water is absolutely amazing! It tastes nothing like the bottled crap which they pass off as coconut water.0
-
Yeah I don't like Zico or Vita Coco, and those seem to be the most popular brands.0
-
I've never understood this

Not the best tasting but maybe the best hangover cure I've ever had. Try it!0

There's nothing like a fresh coconut with a straw on a tropical holiday day.
Unless it's a fresh coconut with a straw and added rum, pineapple, coconut milk etc.... but then it would be a piña colada and would need a cherry and an umbrella too.
I think it's meant to be good for rehydration due to electrolytes etc (though I may be making that up) but not very practical to carry on a run.
I've never bothered buying it in a bottle though.0 -
I never have it back here in N. America, but in the Philippines, oh my goodness Buko Juice with the little gelatinous bits of young coconut meat still in it!!! Best long distance bus ride refresher EVER!0

We get it at Asian stores. Granted what I and my fellow Asians like may not appeal to the taste buds of Americans. That's why when there's a Zombie Apocalypse, Americans will die first due to starvation because they can't stomach eating foods that don't include intestines, tendons, and coconut water.

As far as bottled coconut water goes, Harmless Harvest is in another league. Each bottle (the smaller size) contains the water of just one coconut. And they are meticulous in their harvesting (no bad coconuts).
Too bad a 16 oz bottle costs like $7.99.
I remember last summer I went to get a bottle after running one steamy evening, cottonmouth and all. They only had 1 bottle left in stock and just as I reached for it this girl next to me had similar ambitions. We both looked at each other and then, realizing she wasn't about to budge, was left with no choice but to pull out a single car key and brandish it. That's how delicious this coconut water is.

I bought two cans. Threw out the first one after one sip and gave the second one to a friend who likes it. So nasty. And I'm not a picky eater at all.0
-
Me too. Definitely not worth the calories0

I bought a carton of coconut water, took a sip and immediately suspected that it was some sort of prank; it tasted like the water from where an entire football team had just washed their socks......bleurgggh!
Now I'm dreading it because I'm going on holiday to Mauritius and apparently the hotel gives you a glass of chilled coconut water on arrival after your long flight....noooooooo!.......please let it taste better! I don't want to be rude and decline. Maybe I should just hold my nose and drink or tip it in a conveniently placed indoor plant pot when nobody is looking like they do in the movies!0 -
Me and my family have tried a few different brands and I can't say I would rather die from dehydration then to drink that stuff again.
My friends dad loves the stuff and will buy it by the case.0
