After one of the hottest summers on record, Vita Coco is turning up the heat just a little more — with a video eliciting some seriously fiery debate.
Is it climate change, or are you just really, really, really, ridiculously good looking? With a cheeky nod to both sizzling temps and our collective obsession with beauty, Vita Coco’s new mockumentary featuring Sonja Morgan of The Real Housewives of New York City is both a comedic goldmine and a clever call-to-action.
Morgan, known for her vivacious personality and glamour, leads a cast that includes Sean Taylor (from Netflix reality program The Circle) and Tony Posnanski, the self-proclaimed ‘coconut water hater’ who famously clashed with the internet over a jar of urine (yes, really) back in 2019.
Together, the two have joined forces to tackle the pressing question: Is the planet heating up — or are we all just experiencing the ultimate glow-up?

Sip your way to better health and hydration with Vita Coco coconut water, which is jam-packed with minerals and electrolytes
Intentionally ambiguous, the video invites viewers to ask the hard-hitting questions. Are we talking about your latest Insta-worthy makeover or the increasingly scorching global temperatures?
But this isn’t just about getting a laugh. Vita Coco, renowned for its refreshing coconut water in a variety of flavors, is essential to helping you stay hydrated, whether you’re sweating it out or just going about your business on a hot day.
The popular tropical drink is jam-packed with vital minerals and electrolytes to help you power through your day. Studies have also found that coconut water contains antioxidants to combat age-related free radical damage.
It’s a great post-workout recovery option, too, as you lose electrolytes when you exercise. Vita Coco coconut water is rich in magnesium and potassium, so you can rely on the drink to replenish what you need.
And beyond that, it’s a refreshing and flavorful alternative to plain old water. It’s just sweet enough, and you can incorporate it into smoothies and desserts for a nutritious kick.
