«Amazing!»
Delicious, healthy and cheaper than Gatorade and other artificial beverages. America should embrace the taste of the tropics.

«no flavor »
Hardly any coconut taste. It's more like sweet water. Would not purchase again. Vita Coco and Zico much better. Two stars because it still has the benefits of coconut water.

«A great alternative for the calorie conscious!»
I have always been calorie-conscious and drank diet soda on a regular basis. After a study in Purdue noted that rats gained more weight with artificial sweeteners than natural sugar (article cited below) I began to rethink the diet soda plan. Coconut water is a great alternative to regular soda and juice... O.N.E. has only 60 calories compared to at least twice that with soda/juice -- plus, no artificial sweeteners. It's definitely not as sweet but you get used to it... now, regular soda tastes too sweet to me.
I have had numerous canned coconut water beverages purchased in Asian food stores. They were all processed with added sweeteners and preservatives with a very obvious unnatural taste. O.N.E., however tastes great! Very close to the coconuts that I've had in India and the Caribbean islands. I do like Coco Vita better (also available here on Amazon) as it has less of an aftertaste. I've found both taste best when they are cool but not cold... I let them sit outside the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before I start drinking.
