Colour of the ocean. You know, the place with which coconuts are commonly associated.

Coconuts grow from trees that live on land.

Land grows from trees that live on coconuts.

Surprisingly enough, all of these statements are at least partially true.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Actually, this is true as well

Coconuts spread by floating on the sea from pacific islands to Madagascar

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

That's TheBatshit crazy!

Wait till you learn how the coconut got to the Americas...

An African swallow, maybe—but not a European swallow.

Yeah, palm trees that grow near the ocean you doink

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Coconuts doink you on the head and then all you can see is blue

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Yeah, ocean trees that doink near the palm you grow

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

Coconuts grow in the ocean?

It's blue because coconut = tropical = sandy beaches and blue water, which evokes positive emotions and pictures of paradise in your mind, which makes you more likely to buy [PRODUCT]

Bounty set the standard

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Light blue, though. Regular blue is milk chocolate.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 1 points 3 days ago

Oh my god you're right lol

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I thought everyone agreed that blue meant raspberry? If doesn't, what color am I supposed to paint my red raspberries now?

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No blue means blue raspberry, which taste different from real raspberry.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Now I'm really confused and my whole world view and philosophy of life is crumbling! Sigh, yet another existential crisis and it's only false dawn outside......

I think I'm just going to make another cup of tea.

sadly, i meant it the other way - blue does not mean coconut (its crunchy flavor)

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As a pretzel M&M lover, I hate both that they are relatively rare and that the caramel ones have such a close color.

I used to get a tinge of excitement when I saw a blue bag of M&Ms, followed by disappointment at realizing it wasn't the pretzel ones. Now I just get immediate anticipatory disappointment, and, rarely, a nice surprise.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

There were, and they were good too. I think they had a white packaging, then a light blue.

Hi Raffaelo you're fit

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 6 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I don't know what you're talking about, but blue means raspberry.

[–] stray@pawb.social 6 points 4 days ago

That's for candy and drinks. Blue is coconut for chocolates specifically. Though it also holds true for granola bars in my experience.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 5 points 4 days ago

Blueberry chocolate beats coconut chocolate any day

[–] essell@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah, that was my first thought too.

I'm guessing this is some "America first" nonsense 😁
