You’ll Go Coconuts For This Airline Travel Hack
Airport security. Ugh, right? Shoes on, shoes off. Laptop out, jewelry off. Is a smartwatch an electronic device? And let’s not even dive into the liquid drama.
But here’s a juicy tidbit: coconuts are totally cool with TSA. Yup, those brown, hairy, tropical fruits can waltz through airport security with you.
Dr. Paul Saladino, a board-certified physician and nutrition specialist, swears by this hack. He’s all over X (formerly known as Twitter) with his coconut-in-airport security trick.
“Guess what, folks? You can bring coconuts on planes!” he cheers in his video. “I skip airport water; it’s a no-go through security. But coconut water? That’s my jam. Packed with magnesium, manganese, and a bunch of good stuff.”
And get this, he doesn’t bring just one. Oh no, the guy hauls around ten coconuts to stay hydrated on his flights. Talk about commitment.
Need a coconut opening crash course? Let’s dive in.
First, coconuts.
Yep, whole, unopened coconuts are A-OK with the TSA. Despite the liquid limit, they get a pass. Just be prepared for a little extra screening, especially if you’re flying outside the continental U.S.
So, you’re on the plane with your coconut. Now what? Coconuts have three “eyes,” and one of them is soft. Equip yourself with a metal straw (also TSA-approved), and poke the soft eye. Voilà! Fresh coconut water on the go.
Picture it: sipping fresh coconut water mid-flight while your seatmate watches in envy. Not only are you hydrated, but you’re also the coolest passenger onboard.
Highlights? A nutrition guru says coconuts are his hydration go-to for flights. And yes, TSA allows them through security.
So, while others are spending a fortune on airport drinks or risking the infamous airplane coffee, you’ll be kicking back with your refreshing, tropical hydration hack. It’s fun, quirky, and oh-so practical.
Next time you’re packing for a flight, toss a coconut (or ten) in your carry-on. Your seatmate’s jealous glares? Pure bonus.
