Top 7 Reasons I Will Never Again Buy a Fresh Coconut

1. After using a flathead screwdriver, three different knives and a hammer it wasn't even that tasty.

2.  The first one I bought for Mia had a giant ball o' mold in the middle.

3. The second one was the most difficult food item I have ever fought with.

4. After getting the darned thing open I  spent more than ten minutes fighting the coconut flesh away from that pesky hard outer shell painfully breaking a nail in the process.

5. One of my good knives didn't survive the ordeal.  

6.  I'm not sure if this one was a little moldy or if coconuts are just weird annoying beings.

7.  Buying prepackaged shredded coconut from Whole Foods is much easier.
