Launched last April, Vita Coco Treats is a new coconutmilk beverage crafted for those moments when you're in the mood for something light, sweet, and satisfying. Combining the flavors of creamy coconut and sweet strawberries, Vita Coco Treats offers a refreshingly indulgent drink. Instead of flooding "influencers" with free products as promotion, they brought the product to the people this Valentine's Day in the form of a DIY vending machine. Set up in Washington Square Park, New York, it dispensed free Strawberries & Crème Treats to passersby, leading to long lines and an overwhelming response. This fun, natural experience is much like the drink itself, which has ingredients you can pronounce and is likely to leave a smile on your face.
