Why take something that is naturally compostable and add plastic to it when you can simply consume it without. This is individually wrapped bananas all over again.
As someone who works i. The food service industry and thinks that people over use gloves....I have issues with this. An open air market unwashed coconut and then airtight seal is just a hard pass for me. Id rather see someone raw dog my shwarma
Any kind or amount of bacteria could be passing from the skin of those coconuts to the juice/flesh and then they're being left in a container with air, fluids, and food.
Outside contamination becomes inside contamination when it cuts in half, now everything that it's touched before is inside your drink along with whatever is in the air.
I'm not with the guy on it being an AI fake, but yeah, compared to the speed at which some coconut guys use machetes, that blade is moving quite slowly.
Make a smoothie with the meat - it's completely different. You can get creative and include fruits (pineapple is a favorite), cinnamon, choc syrup... but it's lovely with just coconut.
Depending on the source, processing, freshness, and additives (if any) I've found it can be a slightly sweet and tasty refreshing drink or taste like you're drinking the juice from a can of garbanzo beans.
Having drunk it in Australia, Fiji and Samoa straight from the nut - yeah, I don't care for it much. First few times I thought it tasted like beer (which I don't like), last time it just tasted like it's own thing - and unpleasant (maybe because it was a younger nut)?
If this is a yikes, wait until you see how they dehusk coconuts in some places. Or how street vendors just go and take a machete to coconuts with like barely a few millimeters distance between their fingers and the blade.
Honestly, the biggest change I'd make is a better safety feature for the coconut splitter. Make it so the operator doesn't have to be holding it during the cut and they need to press separate buttons with each hand in order to operate it instead of what I'm assuming is a foot switch. It won't make it completely accident-proof, but it will reduce the likelihood of digital dismemberment.
Two buttons shoulder width apart, or a little wider. Adds a second or two per piece, mostly from being sure the piece is situated because you can't hold it, but it's how every press at job that isn't fully enclosed is activated.

Ahh, the nut of the coco.

You put the knife through the coconut and drink it all up

But half the fun is drinking it straight from the fruit! (The other half is eating the insides after you're done with the water.)
teacupsquid
Cool, but would rather just have a straw stuck in the side of the coconut. Less plastic, fewer hands, and it tastes amazing.

My fav thing to do in Tonga was husk some of these and put them in the freezer and then open them later and have a coconut slushy. so good.

Do you wash all your fruits and veggies? Do you think the places you eat at follow washing produce guidelines? People eat ass.
sufferinsuccotash
Maybe they did wash the exterior? But the inside coconut water was sterile until that moment. Then.idk where it ends up?

I kinda want to see shawarma thing too, but for different reasons
HeightEnvy
As someone who raw dogs shwarma, it's nice to be appreciated for a change. At least I wash my hands.

I gotta say, I'd rather have someone touching my coconuts without gloves rather than someone raw dog my shwarma and give it extra sauce.

Folks who live in countries that have coconuts probably are more inclined to the taste than someone who is not used to it 🤷

Every time I try it I think it tastes like sweat.

I don't care for it, but I can see why people like it. To me it's cloying and overpowering.

Get your grabby regulation hands away from my coco guillotine. It is unsafe to have your hands so close.

I get thats its satire but I still just wanna be like....where the fuck you live with that accent that has coconuts at farmers markets?
cuddleskunk
I live in Florida and used to live in California...I have seen coconuts like that at farmer's markets in both of these locales.
Exyr
Did they grow them there? The farmers markets i e been to are actually farmers. Who grew them.
cuddleskunk
I have no idea...that isn't what you asked.
Evenmoreuselessname
There's literally a roadside stand selling fresh coconuts about 3 miles down the road from my house, and I have an accent like that.

Dud they grow them there?

What if they were sold by a swallow who carried it up from Mexico?
