14. Water from coconuts
Placed Order: Unknown
$2* is the average order price.
We can overlook the waiter in this instance because the restaurant was likely bustling and noisy. The waiter misheard a customer request “coconut water” and instead heard “coke and water.” The error is understandable in this case because the two actually sound rather similar, particularly if the customer speaks quickly.

Furthermore, in terms of cost, the customer might have been better off with Coke and water. A cup of coconut water costs $2, while the average price of a glass of Coke is about $1.35. Not to mention that water is virtually always free in restaurants. In this instance, the incorrect order is the most cost-effective one.
