From the Onion: "The president agrees it basically tastes like ball sweat."

Not having tried coconut water (or raw assh**e or ball sweat for that matter), I'll just take everyone else's word for it.

"President Obama puts the U.S. economy in the hands of the geniuses behind Zico coconut water, who must know what they're doing because they are bringing in millions on a product that tastes like ass."

I used to drink coconut water when I was working in brazil. Stuff is the best remedy for hangovers ever.

Buy one for yourself & judge if you think you might like it. Maybe I just dislike flat-tasting beverages.

1. Coconut water is *not* sweetened coconut milk. It looks like slightly opaque water.
2. I think 'coconut water' has a flatter taste than water, even old water, if that's possible.
3. It costs a lot more than bottled water and flavored water, like $2 for each 12ozs.
4. It tastes alright only when mixed with other fruit juices, if you need the potassium from it.

I will have my own someday but mine will be better. The only way you buy it is if you climb the tree yourself...
