I found the Caribbean Joy cans of "coconut milk" in the grocery store and was impressed by their competitive price. I purchased four cans. At home, when I opened the first can and took a sip, I was shocked at what I tasted. Unlike any other cocount milk I've bought, I could tell that it was incredibly watered down, tasting close to a 2:1 ratio or worse. Looking at the ingredients, my suspicion was confirmed. No wonder the can sells for half the price of its major competitors, it only contains half the substance! The picture on the can and the title "coconut milk" are absolutely deceiving to someone who's actually purchasing a can full of water and coconut extract. Is it legal to udeniably lie like this? Shouldn't the company be required to advertise "coconut flavored water" when they are clearly NOT selling cocounut milk? I guess I should have known that I'd get what I pay for, but it nevertheless saddens me to learn that I cannot trust the legitimacy of the "white" market but must check the fine print of every product to make sure that I'm not being duped as a gullable statistic.
