Where are you going to get a coconut on the Western Front? Some kind of swallow-based logistics system?
A swallow, carrying a coconut?
If it’s an African one. Not sure about the European one if we’re talking young coconuts, those things are heavy.
I’m guessing this was somewhere in the pacific
No man, you gotta upgrade to Big Gulp based logistics.
Yeah, where were they fighting, the Pacific or something?
This also works for hangover recovery.
Coconut water is awesome!
You can actually just drink it if you’re hung over in most cases.
Oh dear.
Yes, that is what I meant, but … I now realize I should have specified that.
Yes, you don’t need to mainline the coconut water for it to be good for you lol!
Mainlining a coconut for a hangover would be so rock and roll though
They’re actually perfect because they double up as cannon balls too
And bras for womenfolk stranded on the island.
isn’t this a decades long myth?

Coconut is not a nut.
Its also not a coco
Similar to how a red panda isn’t a panda or wild rice isn’t rice or a sichuan pepper isn’t a pepper… yeah there’s a lot of these.
Panda bears were named after red pandas, both in Chinese and English.
So you’re saying pandas aren’t pandas?
Evidently yes.
…
Jackie Chan did it in Who Am I. Amazing 90s movie.
The driving stunts in that movie are so rad, like her 180 reverse parking job.
I’m stuck on where the hell these guys were finding coconuts…???
A lot of WWII was fought on Pacific islands.
… The… Pacific theatre?
Whole bunch of tropical islands?

Coconuts are tropical! This is a temperate zone!

An unusual reaction to the prospect of having your life saved, but far easier to arrange than other solutions I guess.
There is no greater disappointment for me than biting into something without suspecting a thing, and my taste buds then suddenly being assaulted by the vileness dubbed “coconut flavor”.
In case my remains are consumed by animals or plants, I can’t put them through something I hate so much. I mean, do we even know how long this will make you taste like coconut?!
This is no longer about what you want, we’ll just inject pineapple juice and rum in your other arm and bring you to party down with some vampire hotties.
but it goes in your blood?
Yes, and if anything were to eat me, it would have the same experience I have eating a chocolate.bar with coconut in it :(
I used to think coconut water tasted a little funny (odd mix of sweet, earthy, and umami, not like the coconut flesh at all). Then one day after a particularly long hot hike, I tried it again. I’d been hiking through a natural area that had lots of coconut palms. Crews had been clearing out some invasive species. This is relevant because they’d been using the same trails and had cut open and presumably drunk the water from dozens of coconuts along the way as they worked. These guys must know something I didn’t, so I looked into coconut water as a drink because I’d never heard of such a thing at the time.
Anyway, this is all to say that I gave coconut water a second chance when my body really needed it and although it tasted exactly as I remembered it I suddenly found that it tasted fucking amazing. I’ve been a convert since then. I used to drink Gatorade, but now Gatorade just tastes salty, like Kool-aid made with ball sweat by comparison.
I’m allergic to coconut, so I would.
Yeah but the hairs ruin your razor, shaving the puncture site.
