Why the hell do we call it “coconut water” like it’s some holy, saint-blessed hydration straight from God’s urethra? It’s juice. It comes out of a fucking fruit. If it squirted out of an orange we wouldn’t sit there pretending it’s “orange water.” But no, slap “water” on the label. It’s not magical glacier piss. It’s coconut juice. Stop jerking off the branding like it’s some enlightened nectar for smug wellness cultists.
It’s called coconut milk in Finnish.
Also, this seems more like a rant than a question.
edit: My bad, it’s actually called water in finnish too. Everyone just refers to it as milk in everyday speech.
Are you suggesting coconuts lactate???
No, but an African or European shrew could lactate into a coconut for storage purposes.
I considered making a “Meet the Parents” reference, but I’m not happy with what I’ve come up with.
Well, what the hell.
“I have nuts, Greg. Can you milk me?”

Coconut milk is different than coconut water. Coconut milk they make from the flesh of the coconut, squeeze it or whatever, the water is flioating as is inside the coconut. They sell the coconut milk in cans for cooking stuff, and it’s white like milk sort of, coconut water is clear-ish.
Coconut milk is something different than coconut water.
Coconut milk is white, coconut water is clear.
Yeah there’s coconut water, coconut milk, and coconut cream. Totally different!
Also you can tap their blossoms for nectar, and make alcohol out of it, or just drink it.
it’s definitely not milk
