I think so Frown
If some one orders pack of 1 liters may be they can confirm it is the same sour taste in those too or if i get the small pack from store someday i can compare the same container and same brand water may be Scratchhead


It says vitamin C on all packs of vita coco.

oh and BTW, I was telling DH about the coco water containing high % of potassium and then detective inside him woke up laugh out loud and the other day he showed me that orange juice (no pulp) has just 1 % less potassium than coco water per serving size. So those of you who do not like the taste you have better option out there Stick Out Tongue
but orange juice has a lot of sugar, which is bad for you! i actually think i'd prefer to drink that vita coco (sour or not) than oj, bc the sugar makes me unable to drink it in large quantities.

aahhhh ... right !!!
Same for us too- back home nothing to other than eating laugh out loud and directing the domestic helpers what needs to be done first. I never put on weight even with all that too. but I developed my love for cooking after marriage and i used to cook because i loved to do it.
I still like to cook but not everyday laugh out loud

100% correct. K got an A laugh out loud to get oil from coconut mature coconut is dried in sun and the ncrushed and that is how coconut oil is produced. To pooduce coconut milk coconut needs to be mature but not dried at all.

so, icey & alvs - you may not like it and sorry for recommending if you don't! but it seems to help my body heal itself. and GH - it may taste like that coconut you had in mexico after all... tho you should definitely try a thai one. i have ordered fresh coconut water in thai restaurants here, and it has been yummy every time.
I have not tried any because I am so confused by all the talk that I do not know what brand to try. #confused

Love this one! It's a must if you like big summer hats for the pool or beach.
So cute, but I do not like paying for shipping...and I do not which size to order.


Quote from Tizzylicious :
I recorded it and plan to watch tonight. I caught the snippet of the sequin black dress and I thought it was cute, but it would be a shirt for me. LOL. Why was it sooooo short? Confused
I did not notice it until the model turned around to walk away. On Macy's w/s, it says that I can also be worn as a shirt.

Who's going to the party? Dance14
Ooops! I WAS intrigued, but I do not like going to the mall on Saturdays...I have plans this Saturday anyway.

coconut water story:

so i put 3 boxes at a time in the fridge to chill. then one afternoon i saw dh drinking, so in the evening, i was looking for some and there's none. that means dh took the last one and didn't bother putting another batch in to chill!!! this stuff annoys me. so i told him and he had the sheepish smile, he knows he was wrong. he tried to reason out by telling me i can always put ice OMG i told him, then he should put ice in his, because i don't like diluting mine laugh out loud
