My all-time favorite is the Somoas. They bring back some awesome memories of when I was in junior high school, some of my friends were in the Girl Scouts and they sold them at lunch. I couldn't wait to buy a box of those cookies.

***UPDATED 7/8/23*** Nature's Nectar Pure Coconut Water from ALDI didn't suit our fancy. We all agreed there's way to much sodium taste in the coconut water and as you get older, as we three are, we have to watch our sodium intake.
