00:00The water gets sucked up through the roots, pulled through the trunk, and sent into the growing coconut,
00:07which is why they have water inside them.
00:10So obviously you could just dump a bunch of Mountain Dew around it,
00:14have the roots suck that up instead, and make Mountain Dew flavored coconuts, right?
00:20Well, the soda would soak into the dirt first, where microbes would feast on the sugar.
00:26What's left is mostly plain water and minerals, not Mountain Dew.
00:31Now you could try pouring more and more into the soil,
00:34But this would eventually mess up the roots and kill the tree, and waste a heroic amount of soda.
