I googled it, too. My local natural foods grocery store sells a brand of coconut water, although not this one. I have heard that coconut water is something of a natural electrolyte liquid. I have tried it and it is not sweet at all. To me, this is a good thing. However, I have to wonder how cost-effective coconut water is outside of the regions of the world where coconuts are grown. I know I can't afford it at local pricing.

I also am turned off by all that excessive packaging. That's how the brand sold near me is packaged. Can you imagine how much trash one would generate drinking that when riding?
