Aldi sells quart sized cartons of coconut water - I go through that stuff like, well - like water! It's flavorful, not too strong, and makes a great refreshing bottle filler.

I do like coconut water. If I am on a ride and stop I will usually reach for some cold coconut water and in the past I have used powered stuff (CocoHydro). I generally just take water with me and nuun tablets for added hydration because I don't keep coconut water around long enough to do a ride with it. I am interested in trying the OleoCBD stuff because I do like CBD it seems to be helpful when I use it.

That second photo is disgusting but if you clean your bottle after drink mixes and other beverages, that stuff is unlikely to happen.

Vintage, or single variety, cider. Sometimes the odd dark ale now it's getting cold.

My co worker who likes to party and drink a lot says coconut water is good for hangovers in the morning.

Both are awful. It is true that some of the packaged coconut water tastes better than others but so far I didn't find anything that tastes, you know, like coconut water. I've tried many, many brands - nothing even remotely close. Real coconut water is probably good but I'd really avoid any of these packaged varieties - judging by the taste all of these drinks are probably as good for one's health as Coca-Cola and Sprite.

I work in the Philippines. Our company cafeteria serves fresh buko juice (coconut water) with coconut meat floating in it. Have it everyday for lunch. Never thought about taking it on bike rides, neither has any of the Filipino members of my group. I’ll have to mention it.

Way off-topic, but what type of chain is that?

Chrome outer, black inner - it's actually just a cheapie 9-speed, doesn't have to be anything special as it's the front relay chain on an e-tandem, but it looks good and works fine.
