A couple of weeks ago while I was at the grocery store I came across a display of coconuts. I picked one up after catching a rerun of Tom Hanks in Castaway desperately trying to crack open a coconut for only a few tablespoons of the precious milk and thought this might be an interesting experiment at home.
The kids were excited to see a real coconut. From their limited experiences, coconut comes in the sweetened and shaved variety in labeled plastic bags from Aunt Laura's bulk food store. This particular coconut was prepped for rookies- it was scored all the way around and came with instructions.
The kids quickly discovered that raw coconut is nothing like the sweet processed stuff on the grocery store shelves:
Although, I bet if they were on a stranded island, drinking the coconut milk might be a little more appetizing.
So, while this was a fun little experiment, I think these kiddos will choose to remain stateside and drink their milk from plastic gallon jugs.
