After a recent sickness, feeling run down and the chores and responsibilities of work and life piling up higher than bloody mt.everist, a friend suggested I try something other than cups of honey tea and chicken soup.
Coconut water. I’ve heard the craze, people drinking it religiously and boasting about its body healing qualities. So $3.50 later, I saw myself walking out with a little carton of it.
I was excited, I love coconuts but sadly, did not know what to expect as I was never part of a family who took yearly trips to Fiji or other exotic islands and sat around drinking from these funny shaped brown balls.

I now, as opposed to to being acutely envious of this small minority am extremely thankful. “Natures liquid bandaid” is like drinking medicine that has been left in a cardboard box with animals disposing of their bowels every so often. It was awful. I tried to not waste that precious coffee money I had worked so hard for that weekend,but I couldn’t put myself through it.
So for those wanting to give it a shot based on the reviews they have heard, please don’t. Save your money and buy a packet of buttermenthols or tissues.
