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 5 months ago (1 children)

Actually, this is true as well

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

That's TheBatshit crazy!

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

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 5 months ago

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

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah, ocean trees that doink near the palm you grow

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 5 months 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 5 months ago (1 children)

Light blue, though. Regular blue is milk chocolate.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 1 points 5 months ago

Oh my god you're right lol

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

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 3 points 5 months 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 5 months ago

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

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 6 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] stray@pawb.social 6 points 5 months 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 5 months ago

Blueberry chocolate beats coconut chocolate any day

[–] essell@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, that was my first thought too.

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

Hi Raffaelo you're fit

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

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

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months 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.
