    They sell it at the place where I do yoga. I've never tried it but I'll be interested in hearing other's responses.

    I used it in stir fry a couple times. I also threw shredded coconut in there, too! Pretty good!

    I drink it and it's good. It's just water with a coconut flavor. I don't know how the taste is gross unless you don't care for coconut. I've had Vita Coco and ONE. Both are good.

    I have a bottle I just got and I plan to try it after I power walk this evening. It's supposed to be a good recovery drink. I'll update with my opinion later...

    I tried it, the taste was not noteworthy.

    I'll stick with water.

    Zico makes flavored coconut water and that's the only way I'll drink it. As for feeling more hydrated afterward, I DO seem to feel more refreshed/hydrated (and despite what my diary says, I drink 2-3 liters of water EVERY SINGLE DAY). AND it has loads of potassium, which helps regulate the amount of sodium in your body (or that's what I hear!).

    My favorite coconut water is straight from the young coconut. :P

    I LOVE coconut & I LOVE coconut cream.
    One day a guy in the office saw coconut water at a store he was in and bought a can for me.
    YUCK! I took 1 sip and it tasted like the smell of socks to me. And I'm not talking clean ones.
    I dunno. I did not even get the taste of coconut from it.
    So maybe from the other posts you should try a few. I may even give it another try too.
    I do not know what brand I tried, but the label was mostly in spanish.

    I have tried it, in fact I have some in the fridge at the moment. I think it tastes ok, but I have no idea if it does anything or not. I just get bored of water and don't like squash or fruit juice.

    they sell ZICO at my job and i have to say i have mixed feelings about it. Some flavors i like some i dont and i cannot drink the plain flavor. I feel like it is a bit thicker than regular water so if that doesnt bother you I would give it a try. Some people i know really love it.

    HATE it!! It tasted like something was wrong with it, but I was told that is just the way it's supposed to taste.

    My reading of this was that it needs to be fresh not something bottled.... that way its all natural, they will sell u anything :)

    They are ALL gross except for Taste Nirvana. Taste Nirvana is absolutely heavenly.... i posted last week about it last week. Ever since I started drinking it, my skin and my energy level has changed!!!

    I HATE:

    Zico
    The Arizona one
    Coco Loco
    Blue Monkey
    etc

    Taste Nirvana tastes completely different...

    Coconut water is awesome. It has a lot of electrolytes and nutrients in it. Some people complain about the taste, by personally I love it. It's like nutty/mildly sweet.

    I drink O.N.E. Mango Coconut Water and I think it's pretty good. Not something I constantly crave, but it tastes good.

    I like it. It's a good source of potassium.

    I think it's OK. I only drink it after a long workout (over an hour, at least). Otherwise, I don't think it's worth the money.
