Default The Skyrocketing Price of Young Coconuts

It must be a year or so since I bought a young coconut.
At that time, they were around $0.99 to $1.29 each.
Just recently, I noticed they'd jumped to $2.49!
What's up with that? I'm guessing it's caused by
the companies now selling bottled coconut water.
That's got to come from somewhere, and it's not like
you can grow a bunch of coconut trees to fruit-bearing
age in a hurry. I predict this is just a fad, and
when new plantings reach maturity or the fad runs its
course, the price will crash.

Stupid idea, bottled coconut water. It can't be better
than straight from the coconut.
