Its not even carbonated. I bought it thinking that carbonated coconut water would be awesome. It is not but tastes pretty good.

For that record, coconut water is disgusting
It's also one of the few ways to get enough potassium, an essential nutrient for life (that, or eat a shitload of avocado-based dishes every single day). Learn to love it if you want to live a long life. There are also coconut-based drinks like Body Armor that don't taste like coconut, but nothing beats the original source when it comes to getting the most potassium per dollar. So it's best to get used to it and get over it like I did. Eventually you'll enjoy the taste.
Use a little salt substitute on your food. It's potassium salt instead of sodium, and contains a lot more of it than those completely worthless pills.
Spoken like someone who has never had fresh coconut water straight from a fresh coconut.
Coconut water is awesome, when it comes straight from the coconut. The crap they sell in cartons is depressing and disgusting.
The carton stuff literally tasted like sweat the one time I tried
If you drink it, you will make that face :C=C=O
Or would it be an epoxy ring
Co² water would be cool though
Isn’t that just LaCroix?
ELI5 please.
They have replaced the H in the chemical formula for water (H2O) with a C to represent "coconut". However, C already stands for a chemical element, carbon. That implies this product is a compound made of two carbon atoms and one oxygen. If such a thing exists, it would be incredibly unstable and react with anything it touches; you certainly would not want to drink it.
They wanted to imply the C is for coconut and this is coconut water but really all they did to people that passed middle school (which you'll get to soon enough) is say "this is dicarbon monoxide."
I don't know what would happen if you were to drink C2O but it probably wouldn't be good, making this a drink marketed to idiots by idiots (marketing majors)
So that's great that 'C'subscript-2'O' means dicarbon monoxide, what are the biologic implications of drinking dicarbon monoxide (for those of us who are only 10 and a half and haven't passed middle school yet)?
Apparently it's not even really all that stable, so that whole container would rapidly decompose into probably carbon dioxide (CO2) and a bunch of pure carbon (think charcoal). At least that's my hunch. There is a Wikipedia article on the stuff, but it's pretty short, since it's a pretty unusual chemical (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarbon_monoxide ).
CO2 is of course extremely common. I'd love to see what a chemist can describe about a bottle of C2O though!
Bad! Don't!
You can just say you don't know if you don't know lmao. Just funny you knowledge shamed someone while not knowing much about it yourself.
Cheers 😉
That was the ELI10, subsection "Basic Lab Safety."
If you want an ELICHEM5320 that's on you!
Hi, I'd like the ELICHEM5320 pls
That'll be $5000.
Is C2O at all useful, or should we just remove it in the next update?
2 Coconut and one Orgasm.
Man I thought I'd never have to remember the coconut story from reddit.
Hm, I needed a new stage name, thx
I love me some Suspicious White Fluid to go with my Mystery Meat
That sounds as bad an idea as the other drink, H2O4U
And don't even think about drinking their flavored H2SO4.
Bro I tried some and I was looking absolutely radiant afterwards.
I love hot beverages!
It is soluble in water...
Dicarbonmonoxide juice sounds gross
