... and convenience stores every day. We would hit the place before going to school. $.07 for a glazed and $.12 for a filled.

I can't even look at any doughnut 50 years later without getting a sick stomach.

I can say that KK was a better doughnut than Dunkin's crap.

Although coconut water has grown in popularity over the past few years, this beverage, dubbed "nature's sports drink," has been around for centuries. Packed with electrolytes and flavor, coconut water is the clear liquid found inside young coconuts and has a slew of health benefits. It differs from coconut milk, which has a creamy white hue and incorporates the actual coconut flesh. The refreshing beverage is great on its own or used in healthy smoothie recipes, and its known for its slightly sweet and nutty flavor. Here's everything you need to know about the drink, including nutrition facts, coconut water health benefits and potential side effects.



Coconut water fits into both low calorie and low sugar diets since it only has about 45 calories per cup and around 11 grams of sugar. Plus, it's naturally loaded with electrolytes including potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and more. Although nutrition facts can vary slightly based on where the coconut is sourced, as well as the maturity of the coconut, an average 8-ounce glass of coconut water has:

Calories: 45
Total Fat: 0g
Cholesterol: 0mg
Sodium: 25mg
Potassium: 470mg
Total Carbohydrate: 11g
Total Sugars: 11g
Protein: 0g
