concerning "quaint" towns / raw coconut water

Every time I visit a town referred to as "quaint" or "nestled" in any type of landscape whether sea or mountains or whatever, I become suspicious. These overused adjective's usually mean one thing only: fudge shops. Small town fudge shops draw fanny-packed Americans into their sugary arms like retired Floridians to egg salad sandwiches. And each of these lame towns always proclaim themselves as having "the best fudge in the country". Who the hell eats fudge anyway?
These types of towns scare me. They always have that "Truman Show" look about them. The sidewalks are cobblestone and pristine, the shop windows are framed in gingham-checked curtains, and you instantly get the feeling that you've entered a time capsule. My unicorn friend picks up a complimentary map from the trolley conductor, but since the town's only 3 inches long, I tell him we'll manage. There's a barber shop with the weird twirly striped thing outside the door, a "country" store that sells peanut brittle and salt water taffy, about a dozen or so antique shops (translation: stores filled with some old cat lady's weird junk), little benches with bronze statues of small children at play, horse-drawn carriages driven by bearded men in top hats who speak with an accent that suggests they're from the 19th century, and of course–the dreaded fudge shop. Salted fudge, fudge with nuts, fudge filled with coffee, fudge shaped into dogs, and fudge store novelty items: stuffed animals holding hearts and a small bag of fudge, magnets, teeshirts, and other useless crap that tourists scoop up with exuberance so they can show their friends back home. "We went to this quaint little town and they had the best fudge..."
These towns were probably great a long time ago, before they knew how marketable they could become by exploiting their charm to the point of nausea. All you have to do is clean up your town a bit (translation: add cobblestone, hanging flower baskets, street lamps, and an old cannon or some type of rusting weapon of yesteryear in the main square...there must be a main square). Then add a Life is Good franchise. Tourists love that spindly-legged do gooder. You should also have a "walking tour" of the town, described in a series of plaques every few hundred feet: "This is where Joe-I-did-the-american-dream-thing-Smith first landed" or "This is the oldest tree in America", etc. The important thing is to make sure that this walking tour isn't longer than about a 1/2 mile, not only because you'll end up in the next town but because Americans don't like to walk. Actually, if you really want to shake things up, open up a Segway rental shop and soon you'll have fanny-packs zooming around your town like nobody's business! And you can charge twice as much for everything. As long as it has the town's name plastered all over it, tourists will overlook the golden "Made in China" sticker.

Now that you're parched from stuffing your face with fudge and you've totaled your Segway, why not sit on one of those creepy benches with the bronze children and have some coconut water? Raw coconut water is the water found inside of fresh young coconuts. It is one of the most naturally hydrating liquids on earth. It's full of electrolytes and has the same nutrient balance as plasma. The brand I love most is called Harmless Harvest. Unlike most brands, Harmless Harvest's coconut water is unprocessed and raw, which allows for greater nutrient bioavailability and a superior taste. You can also purchase a young coconut from most natural foods stores and stick a straw in the top and suck the water out for yourself. Either way, it's insanely delicious. Try it out and give it to your unicorn friends!
