    The real coconut water taste so good that it's very difficult to make it taste bad.

    Actually, you know what one time I was at Harris Teeter with my mom getting groceries and I decided to try some of the coconut water flavoured type with different flavours and it was a little too sweet, but it was very good for after a long walk when you’re sweating or I have tattoo diabetes if I’m feeling overheated and dizzy it was very good to use that to boost my blood sugar back up

    Only people who are not used to drinking coconut water will buy vita coco and unfortunately there are millions of them in the US. People who are used to drinking coconut can tell that their product is just different from the actual coconut juice. I know for a fact because I was from SEA and when I tried their product the taste is really bad for me.

I WILL NEVER support people like this. I either drink fresh ones or Harmless, at least they dont have a "CEO" like this guy.
