Tried the Watermelon, was not a fan.
Tried both. I like them, though I've heard they're not particularly popular to others.
Still prefer the natural taste "Cocobella Coconut Water Straight Up"
I quite like Chocolate.
I'm seeing across 2 Amazon accounts that if you try to buy one with S&S, that one charges for postage and one does not. Weird.
Hm it is not a first order on either (myself and my partner's).
One account seems to progress to a Subscription-style page and the other just puts it in to the cart. That's when clicking through S&S for both.
Bought Cocobella Coconut Water Straight Up, 6 x 1L @ $15.00 about 4 weeks ago from Amazon too.
I used to buy when price dropped to $15 as well, but S&S wasn't available before.
Now that with S&S it actually saves $0.25. :)
Let us see if S&S is still available when price drops to $15 again
Usually Amazon price match Woolworths or Coles, but limited stocks
I wish Cocobella would put some information on their website about how they source their coconuts. A lot of companies will say their products are ethically picked by humans if you ask them but considering the overwhelming majority of coconuts are picked by monkeys in Thailand I find it a little hard to believe…
Not sure how its more ethical for humans to climb coconut trees that could be up to 30m wearing barely any safety gears.
Well I don't know whether they don't all wear safety gear but unless those humans are victims of slavery they would have taken the coconut-picking job to earn money for their families. There's a difference. I'm not going to get into an argument, I'm just saying I wish the company would clarify for people who want to know.
Na its nothing that sinister mate.
Usually coconut farmers in Thailand are in the country side, and they're usually family run. They've been doing it for decades (probably centuries) without proper harnesses or have been using monkies. Then local merchant buys their coconut and resell to manufacturers/brands like cocobella to be made into whatever. Dont automatically assume its slavery, things are different in Asia.
About the use of monkies, I'm sure some farmers abuse them but most treats them like pets/family. What you see from PETA is often sensationalised to get clicks and attention. I'm not arguing whether its right or wrong to use monkies, thats up to any individual to decide, I'm just saying the alternative would be an adult human, climbing up a tree that could be up to 30m tall and sometimes without harness, would that make people feel better?
Fair enough regarding just wanting to know, transparency is always good but I feel like often time, even if you did know but you won't understand the nuances and will automatically think it's something bad.
@buckethat: Yeah I take your point. I did say unless they're victims of slavery (i.e. I'm implying they are not), they would be climbing up there (with or without safety gear) willingly to put food on the table. I'm not assuming there's any slavery involved at all - I'm implying the opposite. I also know most treat these monkeys like pets, like in the video above. But at the same time it's hard to know - and they didn't exactly get a say in whether they want the job or not - so I like to know what I'm paying for.
@pe arl: Fair point and yeah, transparency is always good from a consumer point of view.
I do understand hesitancy from brands but I suppose thats on them to educate the consumers to avoid any misunderstanding or misconceptions.
there's also Tipco Coconut Water 1L for $2.53. part of Amazon's Asian grocery sale
no idea how it tastes, maybe someone who has tried can comment on it.
Any thoughts on the chocolate or watermelon mint flavours?
