I hope so. Maple water is delicious!!!!

Ooh, that sounds tasty. I'd definitely give it a try if I saw it somewhere.

When I visit my usual sugar shack this spring I’ll have to remember to ask if they have any in-house to try.

I feel like the coconut water trend died out like 5-10 years ago. I never see anyone drinking it anymore.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

I drink at least 1L daily. It's one of the easiest ways to get enough potassium, as most people are deficient.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

True, but a liter a day seems a bit excessive for sugar intake.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

coconut water is roughly half as sugary as typical soft drinks and about as sugary as milk so i would say from all the things a person could be drinking a liter per day coconut water is on the better side

I live on the west coast, where we have a ton of filipino-canadians, and they drink it like, well, like it's water. There's almost as many coconut water cans as bottled water bottles in public recycling bins. Every grocery stocks it.

People still drink it. It's great for electrolytes, and better than Gator/Powerade, full of gross things.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Gatorade is garbage. Don't know why it's advertised as an electrolyte beverage, when the only electrolyte in it is sodium. You also need potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc.

I know, I used to work at a health food store. It was really blowing up around 2010-2015 or so, but I just don't think it's anywhere near as popular today.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

How do people survive summers without it?? Need those electrolytes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Easy. It's so expensive over here, they can drink it all by themselves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

I started drinking it more recently since most of the other drinks at the local convenience store are American but Coconut water is usually Thailand.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

I’ve been drinking it more and more, just got into it in the last few years.

As I get older, hydration becomes more important.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

Once provincial trade barriers open, there's also acerum to try

I've heard maple water gives you the shits. I expect they'll pasteurize it? Unless they're raw tree nutzos.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Nope! I've drank straight from the sap collecting bucket many times and not had any problems.

If it's sold commercially though, it'd need some sort of treatment like pasteurisation. Sap sucker brand probably already does this
