Coconut Water?

I really don't care what Hollywood movie stars are investing in - i.e, coconut water. And I really don't know about all the other health claims. All I know is, I got done yesterday with a very intense hike in 96 degree weather and needed hydration beyond water. And VitaCoco to the rescue. What a HUGE difference it made in my post-hike hydration and recovery. I've tried using it to pre-hydrate and found that even in 100 degree heat, I can stave off the thirst mechanism for at least 25 to 30 minutes. I love the taste of the VitaCoco I tried - Acai-Pomegranate flavor. Truly excellent as beverages go. And even the plain coconut water is great and can easily be added to practically ANY other beverage without altering the taste by much. The only reason that I gave Value a 3 rating is due to the cost - $2.99 for a 17-oz carton, but given the circumstances and results, at the time I probably would have paid twice that.

(This was a review I left at www.vitacost.com on 7/8/10.)
