I could have water or seltzers or sparkling water or fruit juice drinks or fruit juices or soft drinks or iced tea, which are all thirst-quenching, but instead I'm going for this.

It's got a much wider distribution channel now.
I'm seeing it at supermarkets and provision stores. At supermarkets the packets aren't always placed where you think they're supposed to be, and you have to search here and there because they're kind of shelved all over the place. They could be in cartons arranged near the fruit juices or near the counters. They could be on the shelf next to the Ceres fruit juice drinks, or right above where the frozen pizzas are. They could be at the bottled water section, or the bottled tea section. At one supermarket, I found them next to the bottles of Ribena.
It's a hard category to place, this one, it being not a soft drink but neither a bottled water, it being not a fruit juice drink but neither a fresh fruit juice that needs to be chilled. It's not tea. It's not milk. It's not any of the regular categories. It's basically a fruit water, if that's how one were to put it.
But it's totally worth the search.
Coconuts are the new superfood right up there next to the non-GMO stuff, the gluten-free stuff, the goji berries, the flaxseed, the chia seed, the olive oil, the salmon, the nuts, the berries, the organic peanut butters, the hazelnut butters, the rice crackers, the organic popcorn, the rice chips and all the sugar-free stuff. But they're aren't the type of superfoods that cost you an arm and leg. It's pretty much affordable, with prices hovering between $1.50 to $3.00 depending on the size you prefer, and from where your coconuts are sourced from. I've seen those sourced from Hawaii, Phillippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
There are more qualities in the fruit that one usually thinks of- I don't really know what they all are- but this packet above tells me that there're five hydrolytes and so I'm sticking to five hydrolytes. After all, that's what I need on a hot, hot day as this, and best of all, I'm totally loving the taste. :)
