This was a nice drink. It tasted like coconut and guava. It was not overly sweet or have a bad aftertaste.

The packaging was a bit awkward but I really enjoyed this drink. It’s labeled as “coconut water” and to me, it was more of a juice. It was quite thick and was nothing like the flavored waters I’ve had before. It was more like a thinner juice, but again, the taste was nice!

Coconut water with a hint of pineapple, shipped to the US from Indonesia, packaged in (usually) non-recyclable, disposable containers, and catering to the… sports drink market (“good source of electrolytes”)?
I took a 8.5 ounce container and poured 6 servings, for 4 teenagers and 2 adults. First impression? The teens (serious athletes) were not told what the drink was, but I did mention that it was being marketed as a potential sports drink.
The result? No negative votes, but no one would choose it over existing drinks. Everyone recognized the pineapple flavor instantly. “It leaves a strange feeling in my mouth,” one teen said. This was probably the coconut water; it had a residual flavor and feel.
There was no straw included with the package, so the opening and pouring needed the assistance of a fork or knife. It’s mostly (cane) sugar water, so why bother?
But the biggest issue is the waste. Coconut sugar water from Indonesia? What’s the carbon footprint of this product? And the container has 2 “recycle” symbols on it, but, like milk cartons, it is difficult to find a community that will actually keep them out of the landfill.
Bottom line? It’s not that tasty, being little more than sugar water, and the transport and packaging waste really don’t fit into a culture (for me) focusing on sustainability.

…Then O.N.E. COCONUT WATER WITH A SPLASH OF PINEAPPLE is the drink for you. I found this drink to be almost overpoweringly sweet as a standalone beverage. According to the package, O.N.E. COCONUT WATER WITH A SPLASH OF PINEAPPLE contains natural coconut water, natural pineapple juice, cane juice, vitamin C, and natural fruit flavor. Personally, with the coconut and the pineapple, I think they could have left out the sugar cane.
However, when I paired O.N.E. COCONUT WATER WITH A SPLASH OF PINEAPPLE with a light snack of cheese and crackers, it became a very tasty, refreshing drink. I, apparently, needed a little salt and/or savory to make O.N.E. COCONUT WATER WITH A SPLASH OF PINEAPPLE completely palatable. With the afore mentioned snack, the O.N.E. COCONUT WATER WITH A SPLASH OF PINEAPPLE is really delightful. I can also see it being very invigorating on a hot summer today (not so much with the cold winter weather).
O.N.E. COCONUT WATER WITH A SPLASH OF PINEAPPLE comes in a handy 8.5 oz box with a place to punch a straw through. This type of packaging is nice if you are on the go or have kids. Just throw it in your bag and go.
Prior to this experience, I had not heard of coconut water. On the packaging it says “O.N.E. COCONUT WATER WITH A SPLASH OF PINEAPPLE is a blend of the natural water from inside a young, green coconut and sweet, golden pineapple juice. It has five essential electrolytes, more potassium than a banana, no fat, no cholesterol, and no preservatives.” Huh…who knew you could drink a green coconut? Educational and a good source of potassium. Being allergic to bananas, it is always good to have another source.
Overall, I would not drink O.N.E. COCONUT WATER WITH A SPLASH OF PINEAPPLE by itself in the middle of winter. But together with non-sugary snack or in the high heat of summer, I would definitely give O.N.E. COCONUT WATER WITH A SPLASH OF PINEAPPLE another try.

This seems like a pretty straightforward drink. It’s coconut juice and it’s pineapple juice, with a bit of sugar and not much else.
They claim it’s a good source of potassium and electrolytes.
For me it was pretty tasty. Granted it was also very sweet. Is it a “health drink”? I don’t know if I’d go that far. It has Vitamin C and trace amounts of Calcium / Iron, but not much else other than sugar.
For what it is (something sweet to sip), it’s pretty good.
