Ok, so perhaps it goes without saying that a coconut is going to be hard to open but I just spent the better part of a half hour trying to open this stupid coconut. I used five knifes (from huge butcher knife to butter knife) as well as a corkscrew trying to get it open. I watched two YouTube videos and read the directions and still it took me forever.

Does anyone have any advice in case I stupid enough to buy one again in the future? In all seriousness should I have tried to go lower on the cap? Was my coconut not as young as it said it was? What the heck?

Eat: so angry I just wasted thirty minutes on a stupid coconut!
